I found myself singing a familiar ditty whilst I emptied the trap this morning. The words were: '...another Brindled B, another Hebrew C, and just for a change there's a Clouded D...' The continuity was eventually broken by the appearance of a solitary Muslin Moth. Oh, and there was the usual crop of Small Grey Jobs, about a dozen of them, they're getting recorded (rightly or wrongly) as Elachista sp.
I certainly endorse Ian's recommendation of Brian Hancock's Pug Moth publications. I might also add that there's a Facebook Group 'Pugs in Flight Tonight' which I find very useful, you don't have to look far to find good images of the seasonal Pugs.
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.
Just joined the Facebook page you recommended. What a useful page, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood move, Jane! I expect you came across Greg Osborne's post on 28 April which contains excellent photos of a dozen or so species. I've scrolled through them a few times as a 'blind test' to improve my identification ability.
