Many thanks as always.
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.
Looks rather good for Pammene albuginana, which we've seen recently in Glamorgan. Worth checking with Sam whether he'd want to see it dissected to confirm.
ReplyDeleteThanks George, only problem I've let it go.
ReplyDeleteOh well, see what Sam thinks anyway!
ReplyDeleteA smashing record Mel. I saw your post last night and (it sounds like a retrospective yarn) I considered Pammene albuginana as a possibility but did not post it as was not confident. It`s probably new to Carms (check Sam`s 2013 list). I`ve been caught out too by releasing moths - a prompt `please keep` (either on the blog or by email) would help perhaps.
ReplyDeleteFirst Glam record was in 2014, and now another one this year, so perhaps it's increasing in S Wales.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair I only posted the photo 2 weeks after catching it, so a keep notice was no good for me. My problem is I don't know what I've caught until too late. My school record was always "could do better". :-(
ReplyDeleteYou're doing very well, Mel. You've had some exceptional records in the last couple of years. Micros can be very difficult (as I know only to well); we've all got to start somewhere and with expert help from George, Sam and Ian we will get there in the end.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I can I/D the micro's I've caught previously and some common ones, but like this one I couldn't seem to put it in a family, every time I found one that looks like it, I found another similar. I'll wait for confirmation.
