Moths at Spexhall on 29 March

Clive Moore and I ran two 125W Skinner traps at Spexhall on 29 March.   Just 11 species were noted but most were new for site as no trapping undertaken here before in March.

Agonopterix alstromeriana and subpropinquella were noted with small numbers of March Moth, Pine Beauty, Red Chestnut, Early Grey and Satellite bolstered by larger numbers of orthosias.

Nearby, on the same night, I operated six 125W Robinson MV traps at one of my private sites.  Here 19 species were recorded including two Pale Pinion, Oak Beauty, Pine Beauty, Shoulder-stripe, Brindled Pug and Early Thorn.
