Caught this on 2/7/14 but I can't find any matches for it, the closest I get is Waved Carpet.
Help needed as always, many thanks.
Welcome to the recording blog for the Carmarthenshire Moth and Butterfly Group. Could members please add any moth or butterfly records or any general items of interest by making a new post. Although everyone can comment on a post you will have to be a member to add a new post.
For what it's worth, I think you're right and well done indeed - another Nationally Scarce species for your collection!
ReplyDeleteIs that what it is! What a year I've had. I think I've done well because no-one traps here that I know of and everything seems new for this area. Many thanks Steve, here's to next year.
ReplyDeleteYep, looks good for it, hopefully Sam can confirm.
ReplyDeleteWell done Mel, that's another scarce moth. Most Carms records are from inland sites, although Jon had it several times at Pembrey. The nearest records to you are from Coombe (about 5 km to the NW) and Morfa Bychan (over the other side of Pendine, but similar coastal woodland).
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure of this one thinking it could be an odd looking common moth, and from my home trap! I'm encouraged to do a lot more next year.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to all comments I appreciate it all.
