Elder Pearl, Phlyctaenia coronata |
On Monday night 24 species of moths visited our seaside balcony light in Littlehampton. They varied in size from 5mm long to macro moths. Conditions were perfect for them - warm and windless. In contrast, last night the breeze kept most away and I saw just 3 species.
Monday's list: Blastobasis species; Bright-line Brown-eye, Lacanobia oleracea; Bud Moth, Spilonota ocellana; Cherry-bark Moth, Enarmonia formosana; Cloaked Minor, Mesoligia furuncula; Common Carpet, Epirrhoe alternata; Dingy Dowd, Blastobasis adustella; Double-striped Pug, Gymnoscelis rufifasciata; Elder Pearl, Phlyctaenia coronata; Eudonia species; Fern, Horisme tersata; Inlaid Grass-veneer, Crambus pascuella; Least Yellow Underwing, Noctua interjecta; Light Brown Apple Moth, Epiphyas postvittana; Marbled Green, Cryphia muralis; Marsh Dowd, Blastobasis rebeli; Mother of Pearl, Pleuroptya ruralis; Pug species; Rosy Tabby, Endotricha flammealis; Satin Grass-veneer, Crambus perlella; Shuttle-shaped Dart, Agrotis puta; Spindle Ermine, Yponomeuta cagnagella; The Clay, Mythimna ferrago and Coast Grey, Eudonia lineola.
