Confirmed today by wonderful dissection by Jon Clifton of ALS. It is the 8th British record and the first record for Suffolk.Over the moon.

Had an amazing trip to a woodland in Suffolk which I got a tip-off for the Plumed Prominent. Having never seen this moth, I knew little about its preference for conditions and flying times, but figured a mild night would be ideal as it is for most moth species.I set up 3 lights out of view from one another at 5pm. The Field Maple was unfortunately quite close to the road, so in order to keep concealed as much as possible, I positioned my 22w Actinic nearest to the Field Maple from which the Plumed Prominent feeds upon.The other two lights were 100 and 150m metres away and deeper within the woodland.The first moths to light were Chestnuts and Dark Chestnuts, the latter was very nice to see and not a common moth in my view. Next came a few Feathered Thorns and December moths, good good I thought, things are flying!A little later my first 2 Plumed Prominents came in tandem to the 160w MBT trap that I was standing near, I was very pleased.It went a little slow for about an hour then at about 7pm all hell broke loose and I was losing count, and not just with the common species! I was upto 26 Plumed Prominents and I could not believe my eyes, at 7.15pm I had had 2 to the 160 MBT, 3 to the 125 MV and 21 to the 22w Actinic! whether they prefer Actinic or it was just because it was nearer the Field Maple, I will never know.Epinotia ramella was a shock to find which is nearly 2 months past its usual flying time.A melanic Feathered Thorn also turned up which was a really special moth.By the end I managed 18 species of 116 moths and pretty much half the catch being Plumed Prominents! with 57 individuals including 2 Females.More good news was the fact that one of the November Moths turned out to be my first Autumnal Moth.Even better news and if what was previously said wasn't enough, we think we might have found a first for Suffolk. It is a tentative id at the moment but it looks very good for Caloptilia hemidactylella, an incredibly rare moth.Catch Report - Suffolk Woodland - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Robinson Trap, 1x 22w ActinicMacro Moths57x Plumed Prominent [NEW!]1x Autumnal Moth [NEW!]1x Satellite1x Red-line Quaker3x Dark Chestnut8x Chestnut11x Feathered Thorn11x December Moth2x Mottled Umber10x November Moth1x Red-green Carpet2x Sprawler1x Winter MothMicro Moths1x Caloptilia sp.1x Cameraria ohridella1x Epinotia ramella1x Ypsolopha ustella3x Acleris notana/ferrugana

Bovingdon and Gadesprings - Field Trip - 19/05/14Roger, Steve and I made a trip to Bovingdon for some late Spring and early Summer species and boy were we in for a treat!We first trapped this site last year on the 11th of June (Trip report HERE)This time though we were simply overwhelmed with species coming in faster than one could jot down.Interestingly we caught most species that we caught last year but as a comparison, we are about 6 weeks ahead of last year (because of the cold Winter of 2012/13)Of course last year was abnormal so we could not go on last years records too much, some of the species that we did get were typically 2 weeks earlier than the books state.The evening was perfect, with a mild muggy feel about it and still 20 degrees at 8pm, the cloud was still with us and the moon stayed at bay (at least until we packed up)The threat of rain seemed to have subsided and the breeze had dropped so we were very lucky indeed.We did not get our target species Light Feathered Rustic, but it needn't have mattered as it was a long shot anyway and there was plenty of interest coming to all four traps as we worked them throughout the night.Highlights included an Alder Moth, Buttoned Snout, Seraphim, Clay Triple-lines, Grass Rivulet and Coronet.The smaller moths were also in abundance, particularly around the twin Actinic trap and several were taken away to examine in natural light.Highlights of the micros included Bucculatrix nigricomella, Mompha lacteella, Mompha raschkiella, Strophedra weirana and Platyptilia gonodactyla, 3 of those new to me.We also managed to get an unusual looking Treble Lines of the form obscura.It really was so nice to see good numbers of the common species as well with 30+ Clouded Silver, 40+ of Red Twin-spot Carpet and Mottled/Common Pug both numbering easily in excess of 25 specimens each.Exhausted as we had finished around 1am at this site, then onto Gadesprings to empty the two traps there, where we found another 3 Alder Moths, Figure of Eighty and Light Brocade amongst a reasonable amount of species.Home at 3am, up at 6am and I felt like I had a hangover this morning, all good fun!Numbers below are as close as I could record!

A tidy catch last night with 4 new for the garden and 1 new for the year, leading me upto 60 Macro's and 23 Micro's for the year, a grand total of 83 species for the year and nearing that 100 mark but I still feel quite a way off and we are nearly at July!I will probably try again tonight, and then I will have a break Tuesday night as I will be out trapping with the generator.Once again the photos will have to wait as it is still incredibly dark out there and has just started to rain.Catch Report - 16/06/13 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson trapMacro Moths1x Ingrailed Clay [NFG]1x Marbled Minor [NFG]1x Oak-tree Pug [NFG]1x Rustic Shoulder-knot2x Brimstone Moth1x Green Carpet2x Heart & Dart1x Double-striped Pug2x Grey Pug3x Common Pug1x Pale Mottled Willow1x Bright-line Brown-eye3x Common SwiftMicro moths1x Eurrhypara hortulata [NFG]1x Caloptilia alchimiella [NFY]1x Epiblema cynosbatella

On Thursday night I joined Graham Bailey and Don Down and a few others for our contribution to national moth night(s)It had been a whole year nearly since I last came down this way, and it was nice to be back.The trapping conditions looked pretty good, we did not have the cloud cover that I was blessed with on the previous night in Bedfordshire, but the temperatures were very warm and for the rest of the evening it stayed warm.We set up 7 traps in high anticipation of a bucket load of moths. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. The moths (particularly the macro's) were very slow turning up to the lamps.And even after a full two hours, apart from nearly 40 species of micro moths we had only noted around 15 macro species!What on earth was going wrong!Luckily all was not lost as we did manage the target species, all 4 of them... the elusive Olive Crescent which is only know from a few sites nationwide, this being one of them and naturally i'd rather protect the sites identity from possible collector's!It was also nice to see a few Festoons which were really freshly hatched.Along with the Olive Crescent, there were plenty of Lead-coloured Pugs and Opsibotys fuscalis, all three species being new for meCatch Report - 03/07/14 - Essex - 1x 125w MV Robinson Trap, 1x 160w MBT Robinson Trap & 1x 80w Actinic Suitcase Trap.Numbers below are approximate50 Macros and 57 Micros ( 107 species)Macro Moths4x Black Arches3x Brimstone Moth2x Buff Arches2x Buff Ermine10x Buff Footman2x Buff-tip5x Clouded Border10x Clouded Silver2x Common Carpet2x Common Emerald3x Common Footman1x Common Marbled Carpet2x Common White Wave3x Double Square-spot2x Dun-bar3x Engrailed1x Festoon1x Flame2x Flame Carpet2x Flame Shoulder1x Green Pug2x Green Silver-lines2x July Highflyer1x Large Emerald3x Lead-coloured Pug [NEW!]2x Marbled Minor3x Marbled White Spot5x Mottled Beauty3x Olive Crescent [NEW!]5x Orange Moth2x Peach Blossom1x Peacock Moth2x Peppered Moth5x Riband Wave5x Rosy Footman2x Scarce Footman1x Scorched Carpet2x Scorched Wing10x Single-dotted Wave2x Slender Brindle3x Small Fan-foot20+ Small Fan-footed Wave1x Small White Wave1x Small Yellow Wave2x Snout3x Swallow-tailed Moth1x Tawny-barred Angle2x Treble Brown Spot5x Uncertain1x Yellow ShellMicro Moths 1x Blastobasis lacticolella1x Orthopygia glaucinalis2x Endotricha flammealis1x Batia unitella1x Batia lunaris1x Incurvaria oehlmanniella1x Caloptilia robustella2x Parachronistis albiceps5x Celypha lacunana2x Eudonia mercurella2x Tortrix viridana1x Ditula angustiorana2x Epagoge grotiana10x Carcina quercana15+ Aleimma loeflingiana5x Gypsonoma dealbana1x Stigmella aurella10x Zeiraphera isertana1x Coleophora sp5x Chrysoteuchia culmella2x Hedya pruniana1x Ypsolopha ustella1x Ypsolopha dentella1x Aphomia sociella2x Celypha striana2x Archips crataegana5x Conobathra repandana2x Cydia splendana5x Epinotia brunnichana2x Scoparia ambigualis1x Catoptria pinella2x Batrachedra praenangusta 3x Teleoides luculella2x Epiblema uddmanniana2x Cnephasia sp1x Hofmannophila pseudospretella5x Argyresthia brockeella2x Pseudargyrotoza conwagana1x Emmetia marginea2x Acleris kochiella1x Amblyptilia acanthadactyla2x Archips xylosteana2x Udea prunalis2x Pandemis cerasana1x Pandemis heparana2x Eurrhypara hortulata2x Yponomeuta evonymella2x Archips podana1x Crambus pascuella2x Spilonota ocellana1x Epinotia biluna1x Apotomis betuletana3x Apotomis turbidana1x Caloptilia populetorum1x Epinotia nanana4x Opsibotys fuscalis [NEW!]2x Spatalistis bifasciana1x Epinotia demarniana

Hemel Hempstead Field Trip - 31/07/13David, Roger and myself decided to blitz Gadesprings with as many traps as we could use, so plumping for 3 off the mainsand 2 further along the canal running from the generator.

More species, less mothsA great catch last night and a few to bang the head against the wall with!Firstly a Caloptilia which resembles both betulicola and elongella, photo later, but may need to be dissected.betulicola due to the huge amounts of Birch in the vicinity. Secondly a Phyllonorycter that I have no clue on, and looks different to the species I have already recorded in the garden, which looks to me now like blancardella.Another Early Grey makes it my whole second one for the year! 6 Double-striped Pugs was noteworthy for my garden.Another Lead-coloured Drab, makes it 3 for the year so far (none last year).New for the year were Nut-tree Tussock (1), Brindled Pug (2), Amblyptilia acanthadactyla (2),Tinea pellionella (1) and the above 2 micros to identify.I look forward to hopefully going out on a field trip on Wednesday night as the weather looks to stay mild at present.Catch Report - 30/03/14 - Back Garden Stevenage - 1x 125w MV Robinson TrapMacro Moths1x Nut-tree Tussock [NFY] 2x Brindled Pug [NFY]6x Double-striped Pug 1x Lead-coloured Drab10x Hebrew Character14x Common Quaker 11x Small Quaker2x Clouded Drab1x ChestnutMicro Moths1x Phyllonorycter sp pos blancardella [NFG]1x Tinea pellionella [NFY]1x Caloptilia betulicola [NFG]1x Agonopterix heracliana 2x Mompha subbistrigella1x Emmelina monodactyla5x Diurnea fagella
