Lee Mount -10th July

In among others, a couple of nice moths in the trap this morning.

 True Lover's Knot

 

These three shots below are of the same moth - how different the colour can look depending on their pose and the light.

Burnished Brass

Apple munchers.

Three new ones for me last week all feeding on apple.
Callisto denticulella (mine)
Bohemmania pulverosella (mine)
Apple Pith Moth (below) - took a bit of photographing and positively ID-ing this one. Found at dusk in the garden.

Jerusalem Farm 8th/9th July

We took the kids Wildlife Group for a camp over at Jerusalem Farm. A great day catching butterflies on Saturday and then a moth trap running over night.

Butterflies
1526 Small Skipper
1549 Large White
1590 Red Admiral
1614 Speckled Wood
1626 Meadow Brown
1629 Ringlet (lots again)

Moths
1756 Northern Spinach

1758 Barred straw

1981 Poplar hawkmoth

2008 Coxcombe prominant

2061 Buff ermine

2107 Large yellow underwing

Also had a few we could not identify - even after a couple of hours of looking these are ones I am not sure on.

Wainscot but cannot get it down to individual species

Pretty sure it is a carpet - again not sure

No idea!!

No idea 2!!

Most of the group were really happy with the butterfly catching on the Saturday afternoon and a little quite when we started speaking about moths. However when they saw the poplar hawkmoth and some of the underwings fly off then they soon changed and we had a group pouring over the books to try to identify them. Hope we might have some junior moffers out there. 

Lee Mount - 9th July

One this morning I am struggling with. Initial reaction was Pine Carpet (though I have never seen one other than photo's) - reddish-brown Carpet but not so sure about 'Pine' now I have a photo. Shame the quality of the shot is not good - I had the wrong setting on the camera and it came out really dark so have lightened it up a bit.

Northowram.

Has to be the best year for Ringlets,  they seem to be everywhere this year..Another Common Emerald last thursday.

Lee Mount - 7th and 8th July

4 photos from the trap this morning plus another from 7th.
Not had time to go through all the notes and photos yet but these are the 'special ones' -  for me anyway !

 Ghost Moth (1 of 2 females)

 Gothic

 

 Varied Coronete (c13mm)

I'm pretty sure that's what it is after my first here last year on 27th June 2016 and later confirmed by CF

 

 Smoky Wainscot I think though I'm not all that familiar with this group

 

 

From 7th July - July Highflyer

Carr Hall lane part II

Not much to add to Gordon's post so here's a couple of my favourites.

Garden Grass-veneer (Chrysoteuchia culmella)

Lots of these swarming around many of the Ash trees there - Pseudargyratoza conwagana.

Stainland. 8 July.

Bee Moth - Aphomia sociella

Bee Moth - Aphomia sociella

It must have been cold last night, the Common Footman, Marbled Beauty and Eudonia from my 7th July morning post are still here this morning.

Carr Hall Lane, Stainland 7th July UPDATED 8th July

Charlie and I went mothing down Carr Hall Lane. Some nice moths about:

(The updates are in orange font).

Small Magpie
Foxglove Pug
Cinnabar Caterpillars
Eudonia lacustrata - quite a few on walls

Straw Dot
Ectoedemia decentella TBC (Really, it's a Denisia similella)
Momphidae sp. leaf miner. (Will confirm later) Is Mompha raschkiella.

Also 1 photo here no ID yet. (Now have ID, see below).

Seen but not photographed, several Nettle Taps.

Tiny brown, daylight-flying moths round Ash trees. These were Pseudargyratoza conwagana. 

Plenty of Ringlets and Meadow Browns

Small Magpie

Foxglove Pug

Cinnabar Caterpillars

Eudonia lacustrata

Straw Dot (Not a great photo)

Denisia similella, 

Mompha raschkiella,
 on Rosebay willow herb

Celypha lacunana

All in all, a good day out. Thanks to Charlie for the corrections. I'm still waiting for the ID of the last photo.

Stainland 7th July. Updated Post.

3 Marbled Beauties.
1 Common Footman
1 Eudonia sp. Too high up to ID.
1 Pug - Colour tending to a warm ginger, too high to ID.

The Eudonia I saw kindly moved lower down out of the sun. It's
Eudonia truncicolella.

Eudonia truncicolella

Eudonia truncicolella.

I found this tucked in a crack by the door just now. It's a hard one for me, I settled for Edonia truncicolella. I could be way out.

I took a very careful look at the photo on the 7th July and now am certain it IS Eudonia truncicolella

Edonia truncicolella
