We left four traps around the reserve and David set his own two in his usual places in the yard and garden.
Total (almost) species from the traps and from the daytime walk was 43 macros and 14 micros - plus Burnets and a very worn, not to mention deceased Pug which will be ID'd later.
We do not have many photographs from the day so if anyone would like to post their pictures please do. Unfortunately it will have to be on a separate post as this blog does not support photographs in the comments.
As most of you will know I do tend to favour the "little'uns" and to this end the photographs I am posting are of a small brown Tortrix... Phiaris micana. There are seven records in the data for this moth, four of them from Llawrcwrt where is has not been recorded since 1986.

What is happening re Narrow bordered 5 spot?
ReplyDeleteI am confident that we saw Five-spot Burnets but I cannot be sure about the ones which may have been Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnets, so at the moment they are just "Burnet moths".
