As the title tells us this is the one thousandth post on the Ceredigion Moths blog so before I start can we thank everyone who has contributed to and/or viewed the posts over the last four years since we started. Averaging 250 posts a year didn't seem like much until we realised it is five a week.
Last night at Ynys-hir Tony deployed two actinic light traps in the woodland which captured nine macro species and one micro. I picked up an Oak leaf this morning which contained a larva of Stigmella atricapitella. I'm sorry I have not got a reasonable photo as I had to open up the mine to look at the larva, the only way to be sure it was S.atricapitella.
Mottled Umber 3, November Moth agg 60 (a conservative estimate), Red-line Quaker 1, December Moth 7, Red-green Carpet 2, Feathered Thorn 13, Green-brindled Crescent 2, Chestnut 2, Yellow-line Quaker 1, ad last but not least (except in size) Pschoides filicivora 1.
