Panshanger Park - Field Trip - 11/08/21

I ran some traps at Panshanger Park once again on the 11th of August and was really pleased with the variety of species that were flying, it included some real cracking Macros and not just the Micros this time.

Where do I start, well I didn't expect to see Antler Moth, Rosy Minor or Dewick's Plusia, all bonuses on a busy night.

Tawny Speckled Pug is such a great looking moth, one was in particularly pristine condition! Talking of pristine, some Sharp-angled Carpet's were also in mint condition.

 

The best moth of the night was a tentative Monochroa arundinetella (last seen in Cheshunt prior to 1901!). So a flipping good record if it is indeed this species. The moth is currently with Colin Plant for dissection.

 

The nights are slowly drawing in now and the species are representing an Autumnal feel now with oodles of Straw Underwing's and Square-spot Rustic's
