説明 | On Friday I was joined by Andy and Roger to sample some mid-June moths from this excellent chalkland site.The day had been completely cloudy but still warm and then the inevitable happened, the sky started clearing...great I thought but then as I drove due West from Stevenage towards Hexton, we had some cloud coming, it looked a little on the angry side though but still it would keep the temperature up nicely.Well, the dark grey sky was quickly overhead of us and then the rain started! And it didn't stop either and it just got heavier and heavier. At this point we had already put our traps out, it was really soul destroying to say the least.Andy got his genny going and we re-treated just in time to witness several flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder.Hexton Chalk Pit is quite high and the last place you want to be in an electrical storm is somewhere high up with conductive equipment and holding an aluminum net handle.We all took shelter in Roger's car for a good 45 minutes and then braved it again as the storm seemed to have died out and the rain had stopped, it was still pretty warm too.Apart from a little rain as we packed up at 2am it stayed dry and we did get some nice moths for our efforts, but they were in quite low numbers and of not many species.Highlights were several Wood Carpet and Grass Rivulets, an excellent site for both having seen them before in 2014 and 2015.Wood Carpet was also new to Andy, so i'm really pleased we bothered to persevere. Apart from that it was the usual fair really, it was evident that the flash flood had killed it all a bit and frustrating that some places on the same night were completely dry.I guess that is the risk of trapping on the edge of the Chilterns, it seems to have an eco-system all to itself!Numbers below are approximate as it was really hard to record the moths because of the wet conditions.Catch Report - 17/06/16 - Hexton Chalk Pit - 3x 125w MV Robinson Trap and 1x Blacklight Blue Actinic trapMacro Moths - 49 SpeciesAngle Shades 1 Beautiful Golden-Y 1Beautiful Hook-tip 4Broken-barred Carpet 2Brown Rustic 2Brown Silver-lines 1Burnished Brass 2Clouded-bordered Brindle 1Common Marbled Carpet 2Common Pug 1Common Swift 20+Elephant Hawk-moth 1Fern 2Flame 2Flame Shoulder 2Grass Rivulet 8Green Carpet 2Grey Pug 5Haworth's Pug 2Heart & Dart 10Ingrailed Clay 3Large Nutmeg 6Light Brocade 2Light Emerald 2Lime-speck Pug 1Marbled Minor 3Marbled White-spot 2Middle-barred Minor 2Mottled Beauty 2Mottled Rustic 1Orange Footman 2Pale Tussock 1Purple Bar 1Rustic Shoulder-knot 1Scorched Wing 1Setaceous Hebrew Character 15+Shades Pug 10+Shears 15+Silver-ground Carpet 3Silver-Y 1Small Phoenix 1Small Waved Umber 1Snout 3Straw Dot 2Tawny Marbled Minor 2Treble Lines 15+Willow Beauty 1Wood Carpet 4Yellow-barred Brindle 1Micro Moths - 22 SpeciesScoparia ambigualis 20+Agapeta hamana 8+Eudonia pallida 5Crambus lathoniellus 10Aphomia sociella 1Agapeta zoegana 2Scoparia subfusca 1Cnephasia sp 2Plutella xylostella 15+Pseudargyrotoza conwagana 4Cochylimorpha straminea 3Notocelia cynosbatella 1Notocelia uddmanniana 1Nematopogon schwarziellus 2Notocelia trimaculana 1Phycitodes binaevella 1Scoparia pyralella 2Cochylis atricapitana 1Eudonia lacustrata 1Eudonia pallida 1 Chysoteuchia culmella 3Pandemis cerasana 2Eupoecilia angustana 2 |
