Welcome

Hello and welcome to my moth Blog. I now reside in a small village in East Cambridgeshire called Fordham. My Blog's aim is to promote and encourage others to participate in the wonderful hobby that is Moth-trapping.
Moth records are vital for building a picture of our ecosystem around us, as they really are the bottom of the food chain. They are an excellent early indicator of how healthy a habitat is. I openly encourage people to share their findings via social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.
So why do we do it? well for some people it is to get an insight into the world of Moths, for others it is to build a list of species much like 'Twitching' in the Bird world. The reason I do it....you just never know what you might find when you open up that trap! I hope to show what different species inhabit Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties.
On this Blog you will find up-to-date records and pictures.
I run a trap regularly in my garden and also enjoy doing field trips to various localities over several different counties.
Please also check out the links in the sidebar to the right for other people's Blogs and informative Websites.
Thanks for looking and happy Mothing!

Parched Costa del sol is useless for Lepidoptera

After a week away in Spain, I feel slightly humbled at how beautifully lush our countryside is and how much life there really is here, today I was walking around a town park and I lost count of how many Butterflies I saw.
Whilst away I did manage to see plenty of Geranium Bronze, Scarce Swallow-tail and a few Vestals and a single Hummingbird Hawk-moth mind. Whilst looking for moths in one of the reserves (of which we saw none) we chanced upon a Nightjar, the first I have ever seen.

Back to my Caterpillars and 3 out of 4 of my Puss Moths have pupated, sadly one of the caterpillars seems to be not interested in either eating leaves or chewing bark for pupation, it has been like this for nearly two weeks now and will probably perish :( sad as we have got so attached to these critters.

On the plus side I have eggs from a Garden Tiger which I kept in the fridge until I got back home....they should hatch soon I would hope.

Even more exciting, was the fact that whilst picking Sallow leaves and feeding them to our Puss Moth cats, I introduced four other caterpillars by accident.
These have come on leaps and bounds and luckily managed a week with sallow branches shoved into an oasis block and only now, have I just replenished theior foodplant after 8 days.

Pics below, I am guessing that they might be Muslin Moth? I am crap at Caterpillars so feel free to correct me.

Trap on tonight for the first time in nearly two and a half weeks! time to add some more species to the garden, as it seems abit risky running equipment out in the field tonight with all these flash floods about.

Last post for a week

Another trip on Thursday and the last now for a week as I jet off to Spain on my holidays, hopefully get some time to see some insects, so I have packed some pots and my small net just incase!
We had easier access this time to Bovingdon via a gate the otherside of the site and decided to
setup 4 traps as usual.
The weather was warm and mild, and only hampered by the fact that it was a clear night with quite
a bright moon (which set at 2.00am) Interestingly after the moon had set, moths were evidently
flying in far greater numbers. As we were packing up it was a little chilly at the lower points of
the site.
It was still business as usual with lots and lots of moths, particularly micros.
We were very pleased to get 3 Garden Tigers, our target species for the night. We also managed 15+ Coronets and 2 Purple Clays.
Good micros were the Depressid, Agonopterix kaekeritziana, 10+ Pyrausta purpuralis and a single
example of the scarce Thiotricha subocellea.

Abit behind

Abit of catch up again, having spent alot of late nights at different sites this past week.

Moths absolutely everywhere this morning and in every single hole of the egg boxes. Naturally I still have a few to sort out, but
this is the list so far.
Very warm and muggy last night, but this morning it is a little cooler with clear skies. Another scorcher on the cards!
Most of the catch was Dark Arches, Heart & Dart, Mottled Rustic and Riband Wave.
Some great new ones for the garden, and great to get the micro Ostrinia nubilalis.


111 species (64 Macros and 47 Micros)

27 new for garden (13 Macros and 14 Micros)

14 new for year (4 Macro and 10 Micros)

My first ever 200+ species in one night

 An absolutely astonishing evening I had with good friends Graham Bailey and Don Down. An evening totally eclipsing my previous highest count of 197 species, from this very site a few years back now. The weather was perfect, a little breezy at first but plenty of thin cloud cover and very mild.
Do set his tripod up first and witin seconds things were flying around it, the usual stuff first and then a few specialities. 
It was a slow start mind and as we found out when we were packing up at 2am, species were still comng in!
The traps on inspection as we slowly packed up, were brimming with moths and there were so many that it was difficult to breath in whilst looking through the catch with fear of inhaling one of the moths.
Highlights for me were not one but two Marbled Green, we did see this moth here a few years ago, but both Graham and I attracted one each, a very special moth indeed. We also managed other resident specialities such as Garden Tiger, White-line Dart, Reed Dagger, Lappet and Silky Wainscot.
All in all it was a night that I won't forget in a hurry and thoroughly worth the 2 hours of sleep I got before going to work in the morning!

232 - total species  (151 Macros and 81 Micros)

Numbers and species all correct.

13th July 2013: Broxbourne Wood, Hertfordshire



13th July 2013: Broxbourne Wood, Hertfordshire



I am not sure if it was the phenomenally hot day on Saturday, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius, or the fact that this trip was to one of the county hot-spots for all things ecological, but we did have a staggering 27 people turn up for the Herts Moth Group trip to Broxbourne Wood National Nature Reserve on 13th July 2013. The West Car Park was completely filled; at one point a police car nosed in, looked, probably thought we were a bunch of weirdos and immediately drove off having turned on his blue lights! In addition to myself, five other people had brought traps and so, as darkness approached, we made use of the fact that the wood has a long and straight ride up the middle; traps were loaded into my Landrover and dropped off at intervals along the ride where they were set up by their owners. In all we ended up with 10 lights here, stretched over a linear distance of 700 metres but, of course, dipping into the sides and various clearings. I confess that I was rather lazy and only one of these (the furthest from the car park) was mine, but as it turned out we really did not need the other five I had in the vehicle. Once these lights were fired up, I also set up a sheet on the side of the Landrover in the West Car Park. People were then free to wander along the trap line and/or stay at the sheet and see what came in.



Almost immediately, the moths started coming and they were still coming as the last four of us packed up the last trap at just after 3 am (most people having left in stages between midnight and about 2 am). I am pretty sure that if we had stayed another hour until daybreak we could easily have added a dozen or more further species to the list, but as it is we had to make do with a total of 208 moth species! Very recently, I was moaning that “hundred nights” were a thing of the past (and of course, when moth-ers talk of “hundred nights” they mean 100 macros). Well … our macro total on Saturday night was 116 species. The astute will realise that this means we had 92 species of micro, but to my knowledge there are at least 3 further species awaiting dissection and it is possible that when this list appears that someone will e-mail me with others that I have overlooked.  



There are some rather “good” moths for Hertfordshire in the list – use the Herts Moth Book (or if you are under 50, the web site) to look them up.  In number order, I might perhaps suggest you look up, amongst others, 397: Glyphipterix thrasonella (rare in the county); 1088: Pseudosciaphila branderiana (very local); 1449: Elegia similella (nationally scarce); 1494: Capperia britanniodactyla (last recorded in the county at this site); 1771a: Thera cupressata Cypress Carpet (recent colonist – first county record was in 2006); 1943: Hypomecis roboraria Great Oak Beauty (extremely local – we had several in the traps and at the sheet); 2039: Atolmis rubricollis Red-necked Footman (almost certainly part of the recent immigration – we had 6). Two species, in the form of 0926: Phalonidia manniana and 1375: Ostrinia nubilalis have recently been split into two species each – we have retained specimens but not yet looked at these critically. It was good to have both Aethes cnicana and Aethes rubigana so they could be compared and there were other species pairs too, which made the evening informative as well as fun (e.g., Clouded Brindle and Clouded Bordered-brindle). Happily, the numbers of individuals of each species appear to have resumed a near normal setting, although there were singles of just a few species. There were several Satin Beauties, mostly in my trap at the far end of the line and at the end of the session around 2.30 am. Here too, I am told by others, Violet Ground Beetles (Carabus violaceus) were making off with large numbers of Leopard Moths that had not made it all the way to the safety of the trap! Good numbers of Great Oak Beauty emphasise the nature of the woodland habitat at Broxbourne.



Those marked with an asterisk (*) have been named by genitalia dissection. Thanks to all the trap operators who gave me lists of moths from their traps throughout the course of the evening. Please tell me if I missed anything.



C.W.Plant



Below I have listed the species that were present in my traps.

As the group was spread out, my traps got different species to what the others got, the best species by far were 2 scarce Map-winged Swifts that came to the Actinic.
Also the rare micros wee very pleasing to see in my traps.
