Summary

[edit]
Description

Some daytime finds from 04/06/18 and 08/06/18 A couple of hours wander around some verge grassland with mixed trees and shrubs and a plethora of wildflowers including Ox-eye Daisies yielded some great moths for me.

On both days it was very warm and humid, and the sunnier day on the 4th yielded better results but I found the sunshine made the moths incredibly hard to pot up from the net, usually going skywards instantly and beyong my control.

The little grass patch of approximately 1 acre was extremely abundant in life of all kinds, and I noted many species which unfortunately i've mislaid the piece of paper that I wrote them down on!

Nevertheless, I potted many specimens of Dichrorampha for dissection. Many will probably be new to me. So far i've got 5 new species for my UK moth records.

They are

Commophila aeneana Dichrorampha sequana Elachista triatomea Endothenia oblongana Grapholita tenebrosana

Pretty good going for 3hrs of sweeping and netting moths disturbed from Apple, Cherry, Dog-rose, Oak, Bramble and Blackthorn to name but a few native species of trees and bushes present on the site.

Other species of note and ones I took photographs of include..

6x Dichrorampha sp (for dissection) Aproaerema anthyllidella Cauchas fibulella Cnephasia sp (for dissection) Cydia nigricana (lots) 2x Dichrorampha alpinana flavidorsana (for dissection) Dichrorampha petiverella Dichrorampha plumbagana Epiblema cirsiana/stictiana/scutulana (for dissection) Eucosma hohenwartiana Grapholita compositella
