Comments on: Last rites of last rites http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/11/20/last-rites-of-last-rites/ 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: tonyhopkins http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/11/20/last-rites-of-last-rites/#comment-2185 tonyhopkins Thu, 20 Nov 2014 19:48:14 +0000 http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=5160#comment-2185 It got chilly here too, but only after I’d already put the trap on. The weather forecast was wrong of course. Anyway, it looks as if Saturday might be the best night – unfortunately I’ll be in Wiltshire!

I forgot to mention in my note that all the migrants last night (ie both gems and the rush veneer) were very worn – unlike any others I’ve seen over the past few years. So maybe they’d already had a life, either in Suffolk or Holland, before arriving in my garden.

Mottled umber, November moth, Yellow-line quaker, Vines rustic, Acleris sparsana, E. postvittana and the only migrant an Udea ferrugalis. Feels very cold here this evening so not going to run a trap looks a bit warmer tomorrow night possibly.

I have also taken Gem recently – singles on the nights of 18 & 19 November. A Dark Sword-grass on 18th and loads of Diamond-back Moth, Rusty-dot Pearl and a few Silver Y.
