July 14th Wicklow (Ireland) moth list. (150+ sp) (1 Viewer)

July 14th 2004 Wicklow (Ireland) moth list. (150+ sp)

Thought this deserved a thread of it own.

Finally got the catch of the 14th logged. Took me whole day to sort. Managed the
farmyard trap before work, the actinic during lunch and it was getting dark
while sorting the garden one, but I got most of it.

Knew it was going to be a big one, with cloudy, mild, calm conditions.
Well in excess of 150sp with 149 logged so far. The farmyard trap was
exceptional and I've listed this below the full list for anyone who cares to
read down.
I didn't count C. culmella and A. straminella. The home garden had probably
about 100 of each. Straminella was almost absent from the other 2 traps, but
they had a lot of culmella, over 50 in each.

Totals excluding culmella and straminella.
Farmyard garden trap 125w MV 735+ of 125+ sp.
Home Garden 125w MV 330+ of 100+ sp
Home Meadow 15w actinic. 200+ of 60sp

Hell's teeth Angus, how did you find time to work? I bet your glad that nights like that are somewhat a rarity.

Well the main LYU season having not kicked in yet was a big help. End of July last year had quite big catches but I ended up traumatised as had 400 LYU in each of 2 traps.

And I'm glad my traps aren't any more efficient.

Will have traps on again tonight.

Brilliant Angus and I thought I was having trouble finding time to do any work (makes me even more grateful for the Id help)!! It must help when you don't have to photograph nearly all the micros for Id later. Mind you I'm whittling my photo list down quite quickly now - only about 230 to go!!

All the best
