Comments on: Wolves wood 19th September – Worrying? http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/09/20/wolves-wood-19th-september-worrying/ 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: Raymond Watson http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/09/20/wolves-wood-19th-september-worrying/#comment-2161 Raymond Watson Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:11:04 +0000 http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=5000#comment-2161 Got my first Pink-barred Sallow of the year last night. A long time after yours Neil. Also a freshly emerged Kent Black Arches which I recon is a late emerger. I am now fully into the autumn species, so if my hypothesis is correct inland sites should be there in a week or two.

She reports only around 20sp recorded, with nothing on the sugar and wine ropes at all. Temperatures remained warm with a bit of cloud cover there. Very similar results to what we had on the night.

The impression I often form (and it is just an impression) is that a fresh flush of moths occurs shortly after a noticeable change in weather conditions. We have had a very long, dry and warm spell. Whilst that is often a good thing to start with, things soon start to wear out and don’t seem to be replenished. As an example, numbers of Angle Shades on ivy steadily increased to 22 and then tailed off to fewer than 5. However, I suspect that with the nights starting to cool off and after the rain on Saturday morning, autumn moths will really start to kick in.

A strange year in as much as we had a good June and July then a cold August. We have been talking about getting second broods of species but I took a Clouded Buff on 18th at home and no way is that a second brood for a species whose larvae hibernate overwinter. Likewise several Pempelia palumbella on Snape Warren last night in good condition are late emergers. Near the coast the temperatures are evened out over the year owing to the presence of the sea as a heat sink. I recall the issue for August being primarily cold clear nights as well as cold days. Perhaps the impact of this is that the coastal areas were not ‘held back’ so much as further inland where night-time temperatures may have been cooler. Perhaps further inland will come into its own for the autumn species in a while.

However, 105 species were recorded, which is not unprecedented for here in September, as 99 species were recorded a few years ago, on one of the National Moth Nights.

One of the features of last night was the number of micros, I’m still wading through them!

Centre-barred Sallow the only Autumn species with one seen. Hornets plentiful especially at the sheet trap. Most common moth was Barred hook-tip with 12+. A moth we hadn’t ever seen until July at H. Hills. Will see how it goes at the Hills tonight hopefully. I think the Autumn moths will still come and are out in the warmer areas such as H. Hills and they will follow in the wooded and inland areas soon. Moths doing very well at home 2 miles inland, but also as it happens, 2 miles from Ashby Warren.

<![CDATA[ Neil, I have been a slave to the ivy since the 20th August -I haven&#039;t run a trap during this period. The impression I often form (and it is just an impression) is that a fresh flush of moths occurs shortly after a noticeable change in weather conditions. We have had a very long, dry and warm spell. Whilst that is often a good thing to start with, things soon start to wear out and don&#039;t seem to be replenished. As an example, numbers of Angle Shades on ivy steadily increased to 22 and then tailed off to fewer than 5. However, I suspect that with the nights starting to cool off and after the rain on Saturday morning, autumn moths will really start to kick in. ]]>

<![CDATA[ Brian and I had a very poor night at Ashby Warren on the 13th just 27 species to 7 lights. Centre-barred Sallow the only Autumn species with one seen. Hornets plentiful especially at the sheet trap. Most common moth was Barred hook-tip with 12+. A moth we hadn&#039;t ever seen until July at H. Hills. Will see how it goes at the Hills tonight hopefully. I think the Autumn moths will still come and are out in the warmer areas such as H. Hills and they will follow in the wooded and inland areas soon. Moths doing very well at home 2 miles inland, but also as it happens, 2 miles from Ashby Warren. ]]>
