subfamily plusiinae . the caterpillars of moths in this subfamily have only three fully developed pairs of prolegs on the abdomen ( those on segments 3 and 4 are lost or reduced ) . thus they are often termed ‘loopers’ , as they have a similar mode of progression to larvae of geometridae . adults usually have at least a small metallic marking on the forewing ; thysanoplusia orichalcea has extensive golden forewing patches . all new zealand species occur overseas ; ctenoplusia limbirena is a very recently introduced species with a natural distribution from southern europe through to south - east asia ; it appears to be established and can be expected to become commoner in new zealand . larvae of most species feed on a range of herbaceous plants , especially garden plants , but ctenoplusia albostriata seems to prefer asteraceae .

the following moth families are covered by this online guide : hepialidae , zygaenidae , sesiidae , geometridae , saturniidae , sphingidae , erebidae ( includes the former families arctiidae and lymantriidae ) , nolidae , noctuidae .
brief general introductions to these and some of the included genera are presented below ; no key to families is given here , as characters tend to be rather technical and involve specialised preparation techniques ; it is quite easy , however , to learn to recognise which family a moth belongs to , especially in the limited new zealand fauna .
the ghost moths or swift moths are primitive moths with very short antennae , long abdomens , and hindwings rather similar in shape and wing venation to the forewings . the family is well represented in new zealand with 30 species , including our largest moth species , the puriri moth ( aenetus virescens ) with a wingspan up to 150 mm in the female . aenetus is confined to the north island ; caterpillars form characteristic scars on trunks of native and introduced trees . other hepialid larvae in new zealand are more or less subterranean , forming tunnels in the soil of grasslands or wetlands ( e . g . , wiseana spp , the porina moths ) or under leaf - litter in forests ( e . g . , dumbletonius spp . ) . adults of many species are crepuscular , flying at dusk , and coming to light before it is fully dark , but aenetus tends to fly later in the night .
the burnet and forester moths are an unusual family of day - flying lepidoptera , many of which are brightly coloured and distasteful to birds and other vertebrate predators . they are naturally absent from new zealand , and only a single introduced species , the bamboo moth ( artona martini ) is present , having first been detected in whangarei in 1996 . it is has now spread as far as auckland ; the hairy larvae can cause conspicuous defoliation of bamboos in gardens and parks and sometimes occur locally in huge numbers . the diurnal adults are less conspicuous . artoni martini originates in south - east asia , and was presumably introduced accidentally through trade .
the clearwings are another unusual family of day - flying moths , most of which are mimics of wasps or bees , with partially transparent wings . they are day - flying but often very hard to find as adults ; caterpillars are internal feeders in a wide range of plants . there is only a single introduced european species in new zealand : the currant clearwing ( synanthedon tipuliformis ) , which as its name suggests , feeds as a caterpillar inside stems of cultivated currants ( ribes spp . ) . adults may occasionally be seen flying around the currant bushes in sunshine . they are rarely found north of the central north island .
the loopers are a very large family of moths ( over 20 , 000 species worldwide ) , well represented in new zealand by over 250 species , where most species are endemic . the common name comes from the larvae , which do not have the full complement of abdominal prolegs ( usually they have prolegs only on segments 6 and 10 ) , and therefore progress in the characteristic ‘inchworm’ looping motion . an important feature of the family is the presence of tympanal organs ( ‘ears’ ) at the base of the abdomen .
subfamily ennominae . all new zealand ennominae ( about 55 species ) are medium - sized relatively robust moths ( although not as robust as noctuidae ) , and the males in most genera have feathery antennae . in the genus pseudocoremia , the hindwings are often yellowish and much brighter than the forewings under which they are concealed when the moth is at rest . declana contains robust noctuid - like species , most exhibiting lichen - like or bark - like patterning . some , like d . floccosa , are very variable in colour pattern . the fern loopers in the genera ischalis , sarisa and sestra have scalloped or hook - tipped forewings , usually with strong dark lines running across them ; males have simple , non - feathery antennae . chalastra males do have feathery antennae ; c . aristarcha and pellurgata are medium - sized moths with distinctive white markings . ‘ chalastra ’ ochrea is more pseudocoremia - like and does not really belong with the other two chalastra species . gellonia and cleora are large brown moths , with feathery antennae in the males , and scalloped edges to the wings . cleora scriptaria , the kawakawa looper , is especially variable in pattern ; its current genus placement is likely to be incorrect . zermizinga indocilisaria is a small , grey , rather atypical ennomine , with an eastern distribution in new zealand . the female is short - winged ( brachypterous ) ; the species almost certainly originates from australia .
subfamily larentiinae . the larentiinae are very well represented in new zealand with about 200 described species . they tend to be more delicate , butterfly - like moths than ennominae , and some species ( e . g . asaphodes aegrota , austrocidaria similata , epyaxa rosearia ) will hold their wings vertically above the body like a butterfly when at rest . the subfamily contains many brightly coloured day - flying species , especially in the endemic genera paranotoreas , notoreas and dasyuris , many of which are restricted to open subalpine and alpine habitats . the cabbage tree looper ( epiphryne verriculata ) is a common and well known species belonging to this subfamily : the adults are often illustrated as a fine example of crypsis when resting on the dead leaves of their larval host - plant cordyline australis . the genus tatosoma is remarkable for the highly elongated abdomens of the males ; this feature has presumably evolved as a result of sexual selection by the females . the genus - level classification of larentiinae in new zealand is in need of extensive revision , e . g . moths currently assigned to the genus hydriomena are all wrongly placed . at the species level , the genera notoreas and pasiphila are particularly difficult and badly in need of revision ; identifications given here are based on those in nzac and there may still be errors .
subfamily sterrhinae . only a single species of this cosmopolitan subfamily ( usually called ‘waves’ ) occurs in new zealand ; this is scopula rubraria , which also occurs widely in australia . it is a very common species in pastures , roadsides and weedy places , especially in late summer , flying by day . larvae feed on a variety of herbaceous plants , including plantain ( plantago spp . ) .
the very large and unmistakeable gum emperor moth ( opodiphthera eucalypti ) is our only species of this family of silk moths , and was introduced from australia in the early 20th century . it is now widespread in new zealand , larvae feeding chiefly on eucalyptus spp . in gardens and parks , but also on schinus ( pepper tree ) .
the hawk - moths are a family of large streamlined moths ; many species are powerful fliers and migratory in habit . only one cosmopolitan species occurs regularly and breeds in new zealand , the convolvulus hawk - moth ( agrius convolvuli ) , with larvae feeding on convolvulaceae , including kumara ( sweet potato , ipomoea batatas ) . the silver - striped hawk - moth ( hippotion celerio ) occurs rarely as a migrant to new zealand : there appear to be very few recent records .
this family name has recently been revived ; the erebidae now include the former families arctiidae ( tiger moths ) and lymantriidae ( tussock moths ) along with several subfamilies formerly assigned to noctuidae . like noctuidae , erebidae have tympanal organs ( ‘ears’ ) on the metathorax . the family is very diverse in the tropics , but there are very few truly native species in new zealand .
subfamily lymantriinae . naturally absent from new zealand , the tussock moth subfamily is recorded here based on two accidentally introduced species which established briefly in the auckland area , but were subsequently eradicated . teia anartoides , the painted apple moth , originates from australia . the female has strongly reduced wings and is flightless ; males are day - flying . orgyia thyellina , the white - spotted tussock moth , originates from south - east asia , and has both winged ( flying ) and brachypterous ( flightless ) forms of the female . both species have hairy larvae with characteristic ‘toothbrush’ tufts on the dorsum ; larvae feed on a wide range of host plants , though teia prefer wattle ( acacia spp . ) .
subfamily arctiinae . this subfamily ( the tiger moths ) contains many colourful species worldwide ; larvae are hairy , with many secondary setae . the genus metacrias is our only endemic genus of arctiinae ; the three species chiefly occur in open habitats at higher elevations , and are almost confined to the south island ; only m . huttoni occurs in the north island ( ruahine range ) . females are flightless with minute wings , and males are diurnal with a strong , buzzing flight . larvae feed on a variety of herbaceous plants . two similar species of utetheisa ( crimson speckled footman ) occur as migrants to new zealand : u . pulchelloides ssp . vaga is a common migrant , with larvae on boraginaceae ; u . lotrix is very much rarer , with larvae on fabaceae . the cinnabar moth , tyria jacobaeae , is a european species introduced to new zealand in the 1920s as a biological control agent for its larval host - plant ragwort ( jacobaea vulgaris ( = senecio jacobaea ) ) . the conspicuous yellow and black banded larvae are distasteful to predators , as is the black and red day - flying adult . nyctemera annulata is an endemic species of a widespread genus ; larvae feed on senecio spp . the closely related australian n . amicus has reached northern new zealand and now hybridises freely there with n . annulata ; it can be difficult to distinguish the adults of the two species and the hybrid , but a white fringe to the wings probably always indicates some amicus parentage . specimens with whitish lines at the base of the forewing along the veins are the most likely to be nearly pure amicus .
other erebid subfamilies . all other erebidae in new zealand were formerly assigned to noctuidae ( subfamilies catocalinae , hypeninae and hypenodinae ) . subfamily placements still remain uncertain for some species , as the subfamily classification of erebidae has so far been largely based on northern hemisphere genera . a number of species only occur in new zealand as migrants from australia ( genera achaea , anomis , eudocima , hypocala ) ; other australian species have become established ( the large dasypodia spp . , with larvae on acacia , pantydia sparsa , with larvae on a range of plants , and the geometrid - like artigisa melanephele , with larvae on fungi and dead wood ) . schrankia costaestrigalis is a common , near - cosmopolitan species ; being small and slender - bodied , it is often mistaken for a micro - moth . only two endemic erebid species are found in new zealand : the common rhapsa scotosialis , with larvae feeding on leaf - litter or hanging moss , and the less common trigonistis anticlina , a forest species whose larvae are unknown .
two species of this family ( previously often treated as a subfamily of noctuidae ) are found in new zealand . larvae , as in arctiinae , have many secondary setae . the endemic nola parvitis is a rare species whose larvae feed on the endemic shrub helichrysum lanceolatum . the gum - leaf skeletoniser , uraba lugens , was accidentally introduced from australia and is now common in the northern north island , feeding on various myrtaceae , especially eucalyptus and lophostemon .
this is a huge worldwide family has about 140 named species in new zealand , which by world standards is an extremely limited fauna . adults have tympanal organs ( ‘ears’ ) on the metathorax , as do erebidae . it should be noted that the species of declana ( geometridae : ennominae ) resemble noctuidae superficially with their robust bodies and narrowish forewings .
subfamily amphipyrinae s . l . our two species of the endemic genus bityla are true amphipyrines , closely related to the northern hemisphere amphipyra . larvae of b . defigurata feed on muehlenbeckia vines ; adults overwinter . the life history of b . sericea is currently unknown . cosmodes is an unusual and striking endemic australian genus containing the single species c . elegans ; it occurs more or less regularly in new zealand , and probably breeds here at least temporarily . larvae feed on lobelia and verbena spp . proteuxoa is a large australian genus ; of the three species known from new zealand , one ( p . sanguinipuncta ) is a recent arrival , now well established . two species have been confused under the name proteuxoa comma , one of which may be undescribed , and both of which are thought to be endemic to new zealand , though closely related to australian species . proteuxoa species have larvae feeding on a range of herbaceous plants . the proper systematic placement of both proteuxoa and cosmodes remains to be determined ; they will probably be removed from amphipyrinae .
subfamily agaristinae . only the australian phalaenoides glycinae ( grapevine moth ) has been found in new zealand . the conspicuous black , white and red caterpillar feeds mainly on members of the plant family vitaceae ( including vitis , grapevine , and parthenocissus , virginia creeper ) , but is also recorded from other plants including cultivated fuchsia . formerly common in northern new zealand , this moth seems to have declined greatly here , and there have been few records ( if any ) in the last 10 years .
subfamily condicinae . only condica illecta ( formerly platysenta illecta ) has been recorded in new zealand , where it occurs rarely as an immigrant . overseas it is found in australia and throughout south - east asia and the pacific , where the larvae feed on various herbaceous plants in the family asteraceae .
subfamily heliothinae . the rare endemic heliothine australothis volatilis is known only from a few sites in central otago , where larvae feed on vittadinia ( asteraceae ) . adults are day - flying . our two species of helicoverpa are immigrant pest species ; h . armigera is by far the commoner species .
the large and highly enigmatic titanomis sisyrota is known only from ten specimens ( two of them lost ) , collected from scattered localities from the central north island to the southern south island . the last ( one of the lost specimens ) was collected in 1959 . the life history is unknown , but the very elongate , probing ovipositor of the female suggests that larvae are internal feeders . family placement of titanomis has never been satisfactorily resolved ; a recent published assignment to the micro - moth family glyphipterigidae is almost certainly incorrect , since morphology of the base of the abdomen suggests a more advanced position in ditrysia . extinction is a possibility , but as the moth has only ever been collected extremely rarely at long intervals , and was apparently widespread , it may well await rediscovery .
apart from unnamed species and species only recorded from the kermadecs , or only captured once in new zealand , there are a number of species of larger moth that are not represented in the image galleries . these fall into three categories :
1 . species for which it proved impossible to find or borrow good enough specimens for photography . the following species are in this category : hepialidae : aoraia hespera , a . oreobolae ; geometridae : pseudocoremia hollyae , p . hudsoni , austrocidaria prionota , chloroclystis impudicis ; noctuidae : agrotis ceropachoides .
2 . species of dubious taxonomic status , i . e . named species in unrevised groups that lack clear diagnostic features , that are not separated as species in nzac , and that require further taxonomic investigation . some may still prove to be valid species . the following species are currently in this category : geometridae : austrocidaria praerupta ( not distinguished from a . callichlora ) , dasyuris strategica , homodotis amblyterma , ‘ hydriomena’ canescens ( not distinguished from ‘ h . ’ clarkei ) , notoreas galaxias , n . isoleuca , pasiphila acompsa , p . punicea , p . vieta , xanthorhoe lophogramma ( not distinguished from x . semifissata ) ; noctuidae : ‘ aletia ’ cyanopetra ; ‘ a . ’ probenota ( not distinguished from ‘ a . ’ obsecrata ) ; ichneutica homerica ( not distinguished from holotype of i . cana , but an undescribed species is often called cana in collections ) ; meterana coctilis ( not distinguished from m . praesignis ) ; m . badia ( not distinguished from m . inchoata ) .
3 . species for which no known specimen survives , and which have never been recognised since their original description : hepialidae : ‘ porina ’ mairi ; geometridae : ‘ hydriomena’ iolanthe .

like nearly all leaf mines on the evening primrose family ( onagraceae ) , these linear ones on oenothera are made by a species of mompha —in this case m . argentimaculella .
mompha nancyae clarke , 1990 ; j . lep . soc . 44 ( 4 ) : 253 , f . 1 ; tl : canada , british columbia , queen charlotte islands , sandspit
mompha cleidarotrypa koster & harrison , 1997 ; holarctic lepid . 4 ( 1 ) : 21 ; tl : arizona , fort valley , 7350ft , 7 . 5mil nw flagstaff , coconimo co .
mompha argentimaculella was supposed to be the only leafminer on oenothera , so i was surprised when one day i noticed distinctly different mines on the evening primrose along my driveway . instead of narrow , linear mines with frass deposited all along their length , these were blotches with all the frass packed at the beginning .
these certainly looked mompha - like , but the only epilobium miner known to occur in eastern north america was m . epilobiella . this is an introduced european species that starts out as a leafminer , but older larvae feed externally in clumps of webbed leaves . i collected a bunch of larvae , and they continued mining leaves throughout their development . here you can see one larva spinning a cocoon on the underside of a leaf while two more , nearly mature larvae mine toward it ( as you can also see in the above photos , these larvae mine belly - up ) :
there was no published host or natural history information available for this species , nor was there any reason to suspect an aristotelia , since members of this genus are normally leaftiers . however , when i sent a specimen to jean - françois landry to deposit in the canadian national collection , he informed me that they have other specimens reared from evening primrose in quebec in the 1960s . also , terry harrison told me he once had this moth emerge from a batch of leaves from california that also contained mompha leaf mines . terry’s leaves were not evening primrose but epilobium , another member of the same family . epilobium species are known as “willow - herbs” , apparently because of their willow - like leaves .

wingspan 9 mm . a tiny , but distinctively marked species , with pale yellow shoulder patches and scale tufts along its back .
it has two generations in the year , flying during may and again in august .
fairly frequent and widespread in britain but easily overlooked due to its tiny size . in the butterfly conservation’s microlepidoptera report 2011 this species was classified as common .
occasional in leicestershire and rutland . l & r moth group status = c ( very scarce resident or rare migrant )
leaf - miner : a narrow gallery , often following the midrib , occasionally tinged red at the edges . this leads to a yellowish blotch containing dispersed frass ( british leafminers ) .
the oval , iridescent egg is deposited at the upperside of the leaf , mostly close to the midrib . here starts a gallery , at first narrow and hardly widening , the first cm not always full depth , often making a few loops around the egg and / or running along the midrib for some distance . parts of the leaf cut off by a corridor loop often turn red . frass in small , grey grains , dispersed , not glued to floor or ceiling of the mine . later the larva makes a full depth blotch ; mostly in continuation to the corridor , but the larva can also leave the mine and restart elsewhere , which may happen already at this stage . a new mine begins with a hole where tha larva has gained entrance , end ends in an untidy exit . the larva lies venter - upwards in the mine . pupation external ( bladmineerders van europa ) .
larva : the larvae of moths have a head capsule and chewing mouthparts with opposable mandibles ( see video of a gracillarid larva feeding ) , six thoracic legs and abdominal legs ( see examples ) .
pupa : the pupae of moths have visible head appendages , wings and legs which lie in sheaths ( see examples ) .
adult : the adult is illustrated in ukmoths and the encyclopedia of life . the species is included in urltoken .
time of year - larvae : june - july , september ( british leafminers ) .
time of year - adults : two generations in the year , flying during may and again in august ( ukmoths ) .

a rather rare species in belgium . known from six provinces , recent observations only in four of them .
the larva lives in a long gallery leading to a blotch on the leaves of epilobium angustifolium . it readily changes leaves . the blotches when fresh are yellowish in colour , but they bleach rapidly after the larvae have vacated them . pupation in a cocoon amongst detritus on the ground .
the adults fly in two generations a year in may - june , and again in late july and august .

larvae : mines the leaves of rose - bay willowherb . most visible ; july and september
welcome to the recording blog for the carmarthenshire moth and butterfly group . could members please add any moth or butterfly records or any general items of interest by making a new post . although everyone can comment on a post you will have to be a member to add a new post . if you would like to join us as a member please use the link shown .
during the last two weeks , i ' ve been working on habitat surveys centred on the 15 recent marsh fritillary populations within 5kms of brechfa forest . although as an incidental activity i ' ve found larval webs on new sites near capel isaac and figyn common , and confirmed known sites in brechfa and salem , an unexpected bonus today in pony fields near abergorlech was a fresh pyrausta moth settled on succisa flowerhead . i think it is either purpuralis or possibly aurata , but just a nice sighting . at 3 sites near brechfa today , there were also silver - washed fritillaries flying .
i ' ve been wondering whether the vestal might get as far as me , and sure enough one visited the mv trap last night .
otherwise there was nothing else of much note , feathered gothic , ear sp . , dusky thorn , oblique carpet and centre - barred sallow being the pick of the rest . two mini - micros are still under review , proving a serious photographic challenge , and another large scoparid ( fw 11mm ) is making me think
i have still to find an easier access to my favoured mountain trap site at the top of the cennen ravine on mynydd du , but i keep trying ! today ' s sortie was a fairly level traverse from a rough track that goes over the mountain : i had about a mile of wet heather and bog to negotiate - it was tough going and i don ' t fancy carrying a generator and trap across it . got caught in a bit of rain , but the view down the cennen ( in daylight , for a change ! ) was worth it .
also seen were a few common carpets and several silver ys . i netted a couple of
the mv at cnwc did pretty well last night , with 51 spp of macro and 21 spp of micro , including 40 each of brimstone and large yu . highlight was
new for cnwc ; this was recorded new for carms last year , with a couple of records . i was also pleased to get in on the vestal influx , with a pink - striped individual .
various other macros were nice to see : 10 peach blossom , 2 dark marbled carpet ( with 4 common marbled ) , 1 phoenix , 1 bordered beauty , 2 white - spotted pug , 1 devon carpet , 1 satin beauty , 1 small rufous , 2 hedge rustic , 2 feathered gothic , 1 small rosy footman , 1 common footman , 1 chinese character .
until this year , i ` d had a monopoly on cream - bordered green peas in carmarthenshire , but 2016 saw mel jones capture this lovely moth further west along the carmarthenshire coast at or near llansteffan . indeed , mel has caught it no less than three times this year , indicating a resident population there as is also justifiably presumed to be the case at pwll - burry port .
i was beginning to think that i might not catch a cream - bordered green pea this year , but one last night ( 27 / 8 ) ` saved the day ` ( or should that be ` saved the night ` ! ) . i include a photo below , with a backdrop of the current radio times . note the reddish termen ( rear wing border ) suggesting an individual of the nw france / sw england population rather than those in se / e england .
above and below : last night ` s cream - bordered green pea , caught at pwll , llanelli .
it was not a bad night , with a few other moths of mild interest among the numerous large yellow underwings , causing restless mayhem in the traps and disturbing other , more placed species .
, lime - speck pug , tawny - speckled pug , vine ` s rustic , yellow - barred brindles and a tawny - barred angle . brimstone moths were in unusually large numbers ( 38 ) .
and brown china - mark . ringed china - mark is far more regular and common with me .
i am struggling to identify this micro ( narrowed down to tortricidae ? ) . thank you .
a species of wild mint growing round one of the ponds on pembrey burrows lnr had attracted large numbers of meadow browns as well as common blue and small tortoiseshell . however this painted lady was especially lovely .
for a variety of personal reasons i haven ' t been able to download the photos from my big camera since mid june so here are some very out of date sightings of moths and butterflies from ffos las . it has bean a dreadful summer so far as far as the butterflies are concerned with numbers much lower than in previous years and some species such as wall brown not seen at all when they have been seen regularly in previous years .
is this a rather faded small dusty wave ? 13th july . ( edit : possible engrailed , see comments below . )
only a very few marbled whites seen this year . this individual , 13th july
help please ! 5th august ( edit : possible shaded broad - bar , see comments below . )
odonata numbers are also well down this year , also with some species seen in previous years not seen this year .
i know that none of the photos posted are of uncommon species , but all the moths were seen during the day and not caught in traps . as usual all corrections and identifications would be much appreciated .
` keeping up with the joneses ` ( well , not quite ! ) . . .
following on from mel ` s vestal at llansteffan , i too caught one at pwll last night ( 25 / 8 ) and it was accompanied by a single rush veneer to represent the migrant moths .
, a moth that i ` ve had at pwll several times before , was probably ` best of the rest ` ; it is said to feed on sycamore and maple and the former tree is certainly common locally .
i trapped on the 23rd at home and had some immigrants , best of was a vestal . i caught this moth last year for the first time and got quite excited .
last night promised to be warm , so i trapped at my alternative site , with two mv ' s out i was quite hopeful of lots of goodies . i was up early enough but mid morning i got pushed for time and started to rush through the last trap .
the immigrants again were plentyful with 2x udea ferrugalis , 12x silver y . over 70 species and still more to i / d .
best moth again is my 3rd cream - bordered green pea this year . this is from my second site so the other two were from my home trap , a mile apart .
anyway i am trying to i / d this next moth and morphing it into a portland ( it was long ) i ' ll be told off for saying that , as i should be more specific but it got away from me and i only had a few pics of it before it disappeared , and i never got to measure it .
i have been back & forth between carmarthenshire and monmouthshire this year , but almost all my mothing has been in the latter county { some might suggest i ' m a neglectful county recorder for carms . . . } . anyway , with dawn getting later i can combine a normal night ' s sleep with some cnwc moths , thanks to the trusty porch light . 15 species appeared on each night ( 23 / 8 & 24 / 8 ) , with relatively little overlap , so 23 species in total . highlights were antler on 23 / 8 , and hedge rustic , flounced rustic ,
perhaps the highlight . i ' ll be back next week and hope to do a bit of leaf - mining . on my way back east on 24 / 8 i paused at the entrance to halfway forest , thinking i was just in vc44 , but a check on the nbn gateway revealed that the vice - county boundary differs from the current boundary in this area , so my 10 leafmines were all in vc42 : - (
this is the dilapidated woodshed in my garden in which moths like to rest their weary wings . i have lost count of the number of species i have found in it ; the macros include white ermine , muslin moth , double dart , dark arches and copper underwing , regular micro visitors are
, two of which have turned up there this week . then last weekend i found a species i hadn ' t seen there before ,
perhaps i should buy a few more sheds and distribute them around the property . then again , perhaps i should just get out more !
the mv trap in the garden attracted 163 moths of 42 species last night . like chris h , i found a superabundance of large yellow underwings - 41 of them , which i reckon is about 40 too many ! notwithstanding this , however , there were some quite interesting moths present , including a shocking pink example of a species only seen here once before ;
there were singles of oblique , devon and blue - bordered carpets , sharp - angled peacock and bordered beauty , while rosy rustic ( x2 ) was another ffy .
i made a brief visit to median farm on thursday afternoon ( 5pm ) on the way to cors caron to look for rosy marsh moth larvae . i was hoping for a bit of sun and marsh fritillaries , but it stayed resolutely dull , though it was still and fairly mild - good conditions for day - flying micros .
in spinnings on devil ' s - bit scabious ( one of the few micro species which is quite distinctive as a larva - see below ) .
like sam , i didn ' t see many macros - just silver - ground and common carpets .
late afternoon watching bea on the climbing frame was terminated by a flypast hummer , which then settled on a large patch of red campion and proceeded to feed there for the next 15 minutes . bea ' s first hummer , and my first prolonged views here ( 3 previous sightings were < 2 min each , two of which were on the campions in 2011 ) .
rumour has it that back in the heyday of butterfly and moth collecting , victorian gentlemen paid schoolchildren to bring them interesting insects . i can see why - they have sharp little eyes ! during a walk on mynydd llanllwni this morning bea spotted both the interesting macros we saw :
beautiful yellow - underwing , chased and potted by bea and then photographed by me .
i chipped in with 2 elachista subalbidella , which has just two recent carms records both found in quadrats during nvc work . this is the 3rd known vc site for this upland species .
neofaculta ericetella ( poor photo as they are very active ) was the most abundant species , with 30 + around heather bushes .
also present were 3 crambus lathoniellus , 1 bactra lancealana and 2 bilberry bumblebee ( bombus monticola ) at sn515385 .
adela ( cauchas ) fibulella can be found fluttering around patches of germander speedwell . it ' s only slightly larger than the micropterix species and has a pale blob in the middle of each wing . there are 27 carms records but from only 5 sites : most are from here at cnwc . it often takes a while to spot them when staring at a patch of germander , so please persist .
micropterix thunbergella is distinctively purple - barred and i most often see it on hawthorn flowers .
( below ) , i searched several flower laden hawthorns at cwmllwyd , but there was no sign of the micro . nearby , however , in the long grass , i found
- cocksfoot moth . i apologise for the poor quality pictures ; my excuse is that the beast is only 3 . 5mm long and it was very active !
several of these darting around the may blossom this afternoon . very difficult to photograph , the beggars don ' t stay still for very long . i had to take about 20 shots to get a couple that were sufficiently in focus to show some detail . they are
by all accounts last night should have been favourable , being dry and mild , but only 21 moths of 15 species turned up and there were no surprises . firsts for year were white - pinion spotted and an
( photo attached ) . also a foxglove pug which looked unfamiliar at first on account of its small size and the lack of the orange - brown colouration which i normally see on this species . silver - ground carpets are particularly common this year , i disturb several in the garden every day .
