[0658] Carcina quercana

Description:

Back to the garden for some Autumnal mothsI set the trap up last night as it needed a little warmer than Sunday and Monday night, it even clouded over later on and at some point during the night we had rain as the egg trays were soaked.Some nice additions to the garden year list with Beaded Chestnut and Green-brindled Crescent in the trap.Pink-barred Sallow was on the fence and new for the garden, Macro No.260 since I started recording in August 2012.Other than that it was standard fare with Lunar Underwing taking top spot and Large Ranunculus picking up in numbers.The weather stays unsettled this week, but Thursday night is looking nice and mild on the forecast.Catch Report - 23/09/14 - Back Garden - Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Pink-barred Sallow [NFG]1x Beaded Chestnut [NFY]1x Green-brindled Cresecent [NFY]1x Red-green Carpet2x Willow Beauty2x Common Marbled Carpet2x Pale Mottled Willow6x Lesser Yellow Underwing7x Lunar Underwing1x Common Wainscot6x Large Yellow Underwing1x Vine's Rustic2x Shuttle-shaped Dart2x Barred Sallow2x Setaceous Hebrew Character3x Large Ranunculus1x Sallow2x Angle Shades1x Rosy RusticMicro Moths1x Carcina quercana5x Epiphyas postvittana2x Plutella xylostella1x Celypha lacunana1x Acleris variegana
