Spent a week on holiday in our caravan next to the woods between Bentley & Tattingstone, just south of Ipswich. While there, the weather was good enough to run the moth traps (and visit family) and get some moths that we don’t see in North Suffolk. Trapped on 5 nights out of the 8 on site and I had 145 different species including Festoon (6 on one night), Orange Moth and Blotched Emerald, 3 that we never see in the north of the county. Some good micros too, including Luqutia lobella, Telecrysis tripunctata (netted). Phtheochroa rugosana & inopiana, Olindia schumacherana, Rush Veneer,
Esperia oliviella (pic below) and a recent arrival in the county Cochylis molliculana. Also the unicolorous form of A. brockeella.
Although only a mile or so from Old Hall Woods, there was no evidence of Olive Crescent in Buxton Woods where I trapped.
