Description: After feeling pretty ill lately I still managed to set just the one trap last night and I am so glad I did, with what looked like a great night weather-wise, by the morning it was still warm with a little dew. In the trap was the usual pickings including a few new for year's Drinker, Willow Beauty, Uncertain, Beautiful Hook-tip (all trap regular's at this time of year) then my heart skipped a beat.. a Delicate sitting at the bottom, a super migrant and one I have only ever seen abroad before and that was as far away as Slovenia! though this moth is more likely to have come from France. Further rummaging through the trap, yielded not 1 but 2 extra new moths for me. The first I looked at as a Shears, but no hang on.. it's too brown, Tawny Shears it was! The 3rd I took with me to my CR to confirm that indeed it was my very first Wood Carpet. I guess double checking all of those Common Carpets had finally paid off! 3 ticks in a night was rather overwhelming I must say.

Description: Garden Trapping - 08/06/16 Again i'm playing catch-up with my catch reports being a few days behind now already mainly because of a busy week field-tripping and with each one getting better and better each time, it is taking longer to write up! The garden catches have been minimalistic to say the least but with a continuation of different species every time I run the trap it has certainly been worth the effort. The weather has been pretty much perfect lately, although as I type the rain has started and looks like it is here to stay for awhile. As long as it stays mild I don't mind!

Description: A huge catch headed by a new for County! Well I thought Tuesday night was good for moth numbers..the next night on Wednesday blew that one out of the water completely! With no less than 44 species recorded and 16 new for the year species and one new for me and the garden. The weather was warm again and up to 26 degrees in the daytime and not dropping below 16 degrees here in North Herts despite another clear night. Something special that caught my eye was sitting on the top egg tray underneath the collar of the trap. It was a Pammene and I instantly said to myself 'flipping ell that's trauniana' having recently seen someone else catch one on social media. The moth was whisked over to Graeme for a second opinion and dissection just to be sure, it is indeed Pammene trauniana and new to the County of Hertfordshire! Two rare Pammene's in just over a week (after last Tuesday's Pammene ignorata) is incredible and i'll be happy with this being my best moth of 2017 for the garden. We do have a few small Field Maple trees about 400 metres from our house of which this moth feeds upon. Other bits of interest were a great big fat female Pale Tussock, the first time i've recorded a female in my garden trap and uncommon species for my garden such as Scorched Wing and Teleiodes luculella.

Description: Lots of New for Year's! Since coming back from our break away it all went a bit mad really and I finally started seeing some different moths, not many but enough to keep the year list ticking over nicely. The Plutella xylostella invasion is still upon us, many have simply stopped counting as re-captures are inevitable and from people's own data from this last week we know that there must be absolutely billions of them. The best night so far was last night, and although it was a clear sky it still held up at 9 degrees and there were no less than 7 new for the year in the trap. The next few days look very warm indeed, we could reach 24 degrees by Wednesday with a chance of a stormy shower though also. Here are my last three trapping efforts.

Description: Catching up from last week I'm a bit behind as I have been away all week to Bath and Bristol and so these catches are from the end of last week and weekend. I didn't take my trap with me but luckily still had my net in the car and a few pots and did manage to see some lovely moths at dusk using my torch and net, including a new species for me..but i'm getting ahead of myself a bit and going back to last Friday I caught some lovely moths in the back garden with plenty of new species to be pleased about. After a warm day and a clear night which didn't drop below 14 degrees, there was a pleasing amount of moths in the trap. 3 years ago I last saw an Eyed Hawk-moth and it was great to get a lovely fresh specimen in the trap. Also a nicely marked Ingrailed Clay had me scratching my head for a moment.

Description: 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.

Description: Sunday night in the garden Last Sunday it was again a nice and warm day with lots of sunshine and plenty of moths to go through come Monday morning. There were 7 new for year species. The year first Pale Oak Beauty was probably the most worn one I have ever recorded (and since then i've had some lovely fresh examples with upto 8 a night!). Garden species count for 2018 now upto 135. Here is last Sunday's new for year species.
