Last Thursday night (16/7) offered great moth trapping conditions and I`m regretting now that I did not take my traps out `on site`, after reading of the fantastic results that were achieved by members of the Glamorgan Moth Group who did just that - have a look at the relevant postings on their blog (link to the right).
With the varied and decent haul of macros that I did catch in my Tyrwaun, Pwll garden traps on that night, there were quite a few micros. I offer the first tranche of captures and would welcome the usual confirmation or corrections from more expert moth`ers please; they are numbered for ease of reference. Thanks.
1. above: Argyresthia bonnetella (det GMT).
2. above: is this the spruce bud moth Zeiraphera ratzburgiana?
3. above: Blastodacna hellerella?
4. above: Blastobasis adustella?
5. Teliodes vulgella (det SDSB & GMT).
6. Batia lunaris? - fits the size of this sp., rather than B. lambdella.






No books here in Mons, but I think one of those is Teleiodes vulgella - black vertical bar on greyish wing. Batia is nice!
ReplyDeleteLooks like bonnetella. Agree with all your others, and with Sam's ID of No 5.
