17 members attended the moth morning on 26 July. Three traps were opened up and moths identified
using a variety of guide books, ID charts and AI. These were then verified by Steve & Carolyn Palmer,
our invited experts. We had 100 species of moth – slightly down on last years total of 110.
Interestingly, despite the number of species being similar, there was only 42 species the same over the 2 years. Whilst we didn’t count the number of each species this year, there seemed to be many yellow underwings and flame shouldered moths found in the traps. It took over 3 hours to to empty the traps and identify the moths – an enjoyable morning for all.
A full list of all the moth species from the morning can be found below.
