Enderby Quarry, 20/07/2009
I ran two traps overnight, trying again for Haworth's Pug and The Fern. Success on the former this time, but still no Fern - maybe I missed it this year.
2 x 125W MV traps
Total catch 588 of 119sp.
New for site:
Meal Moth (Pyralis farinalis) 1
Muslin Footman (Nudaria mundana) 1
Dingy Footman (Eilema griseola) 2
Knot Grass (Acronicta rumicis) 1
Other highlights:
Isophrictis striatella 4
Eudonia pallida 5
Hellinsia osteodactylus 4
Small Emerald (Hemistola chrysoprasaria) 6
Haworth's Pug (Eupithecia haworthiata) 5
Highest counts:
Eucosma campoliliana 75
Common Rustic agg. (Mesapamea secalis agg.) 61
Dark Arches (Apamea monoglypha) 31
Smoky Wainscot (Mythimna impura) 27
Haworth's Pug - resident at this site in the 1940's, I rediscovered it here in 2003
Eudonia pallida - surely now resident at this site
Small Emerald - another Traveler's-Joy feeder
Cochylis roseana - a Teasel feeding beauty
Hellinsia osteodactylus - I recorded the first for VC55 from here in 2005
Isophrictis striatella - I recorded the first for VC55 from my garden in 2002
Brown-line Bright-eye - smart
