Comments on: 24 October http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2013/10/25/24-october/ Topical information from the Suffolk Moth Group Tue, 25 Feb 2020 18:38:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Matthew Deans http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2013/10/25/24-october/#comment-2015 Matthew Deans Fri, 25 Oct 2013 20:54:09 +0000 http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=3946#comment-2015 As I trap every night, I see the various broods come and go and get a really good ‘feel’ for what is going on. Consequently, I am able to identify which species are ‘likely migrants’. It’s never an exact science, although Eudonia angustea and Turnip Moth usually show an increase here in numbers when ‘obvious migrants’ are trapped. Quite often the Turnip Moth will show an increase in numbers when Dark Sword-grass arrive – perhaps travelling together?

White-point I consider a ‘resident’ here as frequently caught when the traps are devoid of migrants. However, numbers are occasionally bolstered when migration events occur. I also catch the odd L-album Wainscot out of season, I have two clearly defined broods here of this now well established species. This suggests to me a primary immigrant, so migrants do turn up of resident species.
