Another Netted Pug

I am slowly getting used to my new garden in Homersfield and finding the best place for the moth trap. The number and variety of moths seems to be less than in Burgate but last night conditions were ideal – cloudy and muggy after a little rain. Best moth this morning was a Netted Pug: a new species for me. The rest of the catch was as expected but included Bird’s Wing, May Highflyer, Treble-bar, Sandy Carpet and Shoulder-striped Wainscot.

    Well done on the Netted Pug, Mark, I have never seen one. I’m not sure that you know but there is a bio blitz planned at the Waveney river Centre, Earsham on 18 July. They need a moth recorder or recorders for the night, electricity, tea, coffee provided. Brian and or I may be able to attend, not sure yet. If this is something you could be interested in let me know and I will contact the organiser. Thanks, Keith.

    Hi Keith
    Yes I could do this. I am happy to do macros, but, apart from the commoner species, I am still finding my feet with the micros.

    Ok Mark, I met the organiser today. I will let him know that he will have at least one moth recorder. Perhaps you can email me at kk.acremeadow@tiscali.co.uk so I can pass on the details.
