Catch Report - 14-04-13A superb catch last night and despite the stiff breeze, it didn't seem to put the moths off too much.34 moths of 10 species were found in and around the trap.2 were new for the year, both Emmelina monodactyla and Grey Shoulder-knot (the latter was about 4 metres away from the trap)New for the garden was Diurnea fagella which I didn't expect as not many people have been reporting it yet this year.Interestingly of the 34 moths, only 2 were at my light (searching extensively with the torch) fro 8pm til 11pm, bearing in mind our streetlights go out at 12.15am, is this having an effect on them I wonder?Star of the catch was a Herald, a moth I don't see too often and only my 8th record.My records for it are as followsNone in 200825/03/09 - Hatfield Broad Oak10/04/10 - Hatfield Broad Oak24/04/10 - Hatfield Broad Oak08/07/10 - Canvey Wick17/07/10 - Harlow Museum21/09/10 - Sawbridgeworth MashNone in 201114/07/12 - Rye Meads14/04/13 - StevenageCatch Report - 14-04-13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Herald [NFG]1x Grey Shoulder-knot [NFY]4x Clouded Drab2x Chestnut10x Hebrew Character7x Common Quaker 1x Oak Beauty6x Small QuakerMicro Moths1x Diurnea fagella [NFG]1x Emmelina monodactyla [NFY]

Hidden HeraldWhilst gardening again today, I found a lovely Herald moth skulking amongst the brambles in the alleyway, a year tick for the garden.Also plenty of other insect action with Brimstone, Orange-tip, 2 Mompha subbistrigella and a very pretty Elachista species which has been put in the fridge now because it was going potty and far too active for a photo.
