As previously announced by email and unlike Arfon`s really wonderful array of moths, there were no outstanding migrants in my traps on Thurs (18/9) nor on Friday (19/9). However, there were local wanderers of some interest and also some of the commoner migrants such as the two Palpita that turned up on the first night. The traps were not without interest though, with several FFYs (1st for year) species.
Above: The MV `shining bright` at its usual site at the far end of the garden.
Above: A couple of large ranunculus - my FFY and a regular autumn species in my garden.
Above: A large wainscot and an l-album wainscot, showing the size of the former species whose larvae inhabit reeds (the nearest significant reeds are c 0.75km away, `as the moth flies`).
Above: A turnip and a dark sword-grass, showing their differences (size can vary in both species).
Above: A yellow-tail, with its tail aloft
Above: Brindled green, a FFY for me.
Above:
Ypsolopha sequella, a regular micro here - its larvae feed on maples and sycamore.
