Catch report - 29/07/22 - Fordham - East Cambs

Well on Friday night, I decided to stay up until around 1am, counting the moths that arrived to the trap, this was 'pre' feeling absolutely rubbish, tired and with a crushing headache.

I think I managed 88 species in total, from jotting down before bedtime and then counting in the morning, a very pleasing amount indeed.

 

Even better was a completely new moth for me, the (usually) stunning Anania verbascalis, shame mine was a bit knackered. But still, what a surprise and not seen in the county since 1938!!

Other highlights were a 2nd garden record of Eulamprotes wilkella, a garden first Evergestis pallidata (Expected as these are regular at nearby Chippenham Fen) and Cataclysta lemnata, the Small China-mark, again a moth that is very common locally and surprised it took nearly a year to add to the garden list, moths never cease to surprise me.

Moth garden list for 2022 stands at 576 species
