Moths in late February at Bawdsey Hall

The recent mild weather has prompted to undertake some moth trapping in the past week at Bawdsey Hall - running a single 125W MV Robinson and more recently the tungsten light trap.

Species noted have included Agonopterix heracliana, Tortricodes alternella (new to Bawdsey Hall), March Moth, Early Moth (new to Bawdsey Hall), Dotted Border, Oak Beauty (my first ever February record), Pale-brindled Beauty, Chestnut, Satellite, Common Quaker, Hebrew Character and Clouded Drab.

I have not recorded Spring Usher nor Small Brindled Beauty this year – both species have always been scarce at Bawdsey.
