Moth ids confirmation Scotland (1 Viewer)

[lee_hesp]

I've just started light trapping and have been adding my moth records online http://www.mothrecording.org. Three species I have caught recently seem to be new records for my tetrad. Can someone confirm the ids please?

1. Pale Prominent
2. Green Silver-lines
3. Swallow Prominent

Thanks!

Hi
All three correct.
I'd be interested to know which maps are you using to ascertain if it is new or not.

Thanks for the quick confirmation.

I have set up an account to log records at http://www.mothrecording.org. For each macro species you can view a map of the UK which shows you each tetrad it has been recorded in. When you add a record to a tetrad that a species has not been recorded in before then you get an extra 'Are you sure?' message. I'm finding it very useful!

Hopefully this link will take you to the maps http://www.mothrecording.org/index.php?c=info&m=spinfo_all&mm=spinfo_all

Cheers,

Lee

Hi Lee
An excellent resource, even at the chosen level of recording. I just checked a species I've recorded but there are no records shown, from any of the localities where it occurs. I'd better register!
