Chippenham Fen - Field Trip - 18/07/22 - MEGA HAUL

Well, where do I start.

Let just jump right in at the deep-end, 302 species so far were logged on the 18th of July at Chippenham Fen, a 300+ figure is probably the holy grail (This is only the 3rd time i've managed it in 17 years).

Even 200 species in a night is breathtaking in it's own right.

So far I have identified two new species for my records, Ancylis apicella & Phyllonorycter rajella, with a 3rd pending genitalia dissection ( A Caryocolum sp that has been suggested by Nigel Voaden as a probable viscariella).

Other notables included Nemapogon clematella, Purple Clay, Reed Dagger & Yponomeuta plumbella.

Words can't quite describe how busy the last trap was at packing up time.

The temperature had a lot to do with it, with highs of 38 degrees, and lows of 22. It was still 30c at 9pm! incredible for this Country, and of course we went over the 40 degree barrier the following day...far too hot!

We are now back to more manageable temperatures thankfully, a pleasant 24 degrees today here in the east.
