More Adela cuprella http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/04/11/more-adela-cuprella-3/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/04/11/more-adela-cuprella-3/#comments Fri, 11 Apr 2014 19:10:39 +0000 Steve Goddard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=4405 Continue reading ]]> Following visits out and about this month I have two further records to add to those published which will hopefully be of interest. On April 1st, I found a small number of long-horns high above a water-side sallow at Loompit Lake, Levington. Having in mind the theme of early records but with this still seeming rather early for A cuprella, I asked Neil for his views. From my observations, he confirmed that this could be the only species. Then on April 9th, I found two separate colonies at Boyton Hall Farm. Hopefully, this species is enjoying a good year with this remarkable weather.

Two Early Heath Records http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/04/11/two-early-heath-records/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/04/11/two-early-heath-records/#comments Fri, 11 Apr 2014 18:29:11 +0000 Steve Goddard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=4401 Continue reading ]]> Many recent reports clearly reflect the sunny, warm and mild start to the year and some field observations of my own would appear to support this. Walking on Martlesham Heath these last two days, I found a single Pyrausta despicata on April 10 and a small number of Adela reaumurella on April 11. Both records are by a long way, the earliest dates since I started recording here in 2002.

Surprise First Site Record http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/03/30/surprise-first-site-record/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2014/03/30/surprise-first-site-record/#comments Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:16:33 +0000 Steve Goddard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=4260 I chose the night of March 29 for my first moth-trap of the year in my garden here at Martlesham Heath and it produced a rather surprising first site record – a Nut-tree Tussock. What a start!

Early Double-striped Pug Sheltering Indoors! http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2013/01/12/early-double-striped-pug-sheltering-indoors/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2013/01/12/early-double-striped-pug-sheltering-indoors/#comments Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:15:54 +0000 Steve Goddard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=2526 Continue reading ]]> With my moth trap yet to make an appearance this year, I’ve had Winter Moth on the window but a Double-striped Pug in my hallway on January 11th was quite a surprise!  UKmoths mentions that it can be found on the wing as early as January in mild winters. This one seems to have nipped indoors with the onset of colder weather! 

Good mothing for 2013.

Nemophora fasciella at Shingle Street http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/04/nemophora-fasciella-at-shingle-street/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/04/nemophora-fasciella-at-shingle-street/#comments Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:08:00 +0000 Steve Goddard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=1613 Continue reading ]]> Would you believe it – having never seen this species before I’ve now managed to find it at 2 locations in 3 days! Both a male and a female found at Shingle Street today (4th) within yards of each other. The first, a female was found easily at waist height. The male was found resting deep in the vegetation on dead nettle only a foot off the ground. Whilst accepting that this is a known scarcity even so, perhaps this hidden low position of the male is another indication of why this moth is so difficult to find.

Nemophora fasciella found at Waldringfield http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/03/nemophora-fasciella-found-at-waldringfield/ http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/03/nemophora-fasciella-found-at-waldringfield/#comments Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:06:04 +0000 Steve Goddard http://suffolkmoths.org.uk/blog/?p=1616 Continue reading ]]> A late morning walk at Waldringfield on 2nd July – a location I had not visited for more than a year soon found me enthralled by this most beautiful moth. I was passing a hedgerow when this sparkling moth caught my eye. I was soon taking pics of this gem of an insect which on my return home, I was able to identify as a female N. fasciella.

Referring to The Moths Of Suffolk web-site, I found as expected that it was classified as nationally scarce. Also, I found that what I had passed off as Red dead-nettle was indeed the food-plant, Black Horehound (Ballota nigra).  Neil tells me that it is also a BAP species. 

So, a good trip out and to think, I could have chosen to go anywhere!  Although the records seem to show that it is seldom found, I am now spurred on to look for more.

What B. inornatella was doing in my heathland garden I don’t know being a wetland species and scarce at that! However, in identifying a number of these species for me (thank you again, Neil), Neil told me that he first found it at his site last year and it now appears to be resident. Perhaps this species is having a good year having wandered my way!

I was very pleased to see 35 species in the trap and including 2 N. noctuella & 1 P. xylostella. Always good to see Pine Hawk making its first appearance and Neofaculta ericetella tested my memory once more although regular. Sandy Carpet, Red Twin-spot Carpet, Peacock, White Ermine & Small Phoenix good to see. My first Cinnabar sighting of the year too.

<![CDATA[ <p>Good to have my moth trap out at last here at Martlesham Heath &#8211; first time since March! I was very pleased to see 35 species in the trap and including 2 N. noctuella &amp; 1 P. xylostella. Always good to see Pine Hawk making its first appearance and Neofaculta ericetella tested my memory once more although regular. Sandy Carpet, Red Twin-spot Carpet, Peacock, White Ermine &amp; Small Phoenix good to see. My first Cinnabar sighting of the year too.</p> ]]>
