the adults are quite distinctive but could be confused with the similar , more widespread but as yet unrecorded metalampra cinnamomea , which however has a darker ground colour in the forewing .
comparison - m . italica ( top ) vivid bright reddish brown colour . yellow markings less extensive , often significantly reduced - m . cinnamomea ( bottom ) darker brown colour with contrasting yellow markings . jw
i think the unknown micro is a very faded batia sp : there are 3 species and its size should id it . the mystery insects : the first looks like a springtail , one of the collembola . there are about 250 uk species and they range from very small to extremely small . i think the second one may be a picture - winged fly - one of the ulidiidae ? ? i ' m afraid that ' s my limit . i ' m envious of your metalampra . andy .
a couple of new ones in my hereford garden in the last two days , both of which i sort of expected might turn up soon . metalmpra italica and small ranunculus . the other i had down as delplanqueia . dilutella , ( this from great doward on the 16th ) , but i ' ve been reliably informed it ' s probably d . inscriptella , a new crypto species recently discovered lurking amongst the former . this being the one found inland . scarlet tigers the main garden moth of note right now . 18 last night !
this species was encountered in britain for the first time in 2003 , in devon . since then it has been found in at least a dozen counties in the south of england and wales , and is now known to be a breeding resident .
prior to this , the species was considered endemic to italy , but is believed to be spreading its range . it is possible that it was accidentally introduced .
the larvae feed in decaying wood , beneath the bark , in the manner of , and resembling , those of esperia sulphurella .

first recorded in the uk in 2003 in devon , the species had not previously been recorded outside italy . subsequently recorded in several southern counties and is assumed to be breeding both in southern britain and also in belgium .
new for norfolk in 2014 when two adult moths were trapped . provisionally recorded at rspb titchwell vc28 ( 29 / 07 / 14 ) and a confirmed female recorded at bawdeswell vc27 ( d . appleton , 01 / 08 / 14 gen . det . j . clifton )
several examples from ticthwell in 2015 / 16 and other sites in 2016 suggest established colonies .
, which occurs widely on the near continent , but has yet to be seen in the uk .
recorded in 5 ( 7 % ) of 69 10k squares . first recorded in 2014 . last recorded in 2018 .

for many years , records of the vice - county distributions of uk micro - moths from c . 1800 onwards have been kept on hand - annotated paper maps , first by a . maitland emmet and , more recently , by dr . john langmaid and dr . mark young .
the moths count project has now digitised these maps and made them available to moth recorders and the general public for the first time .
a grant from the department for environment , food and rural affairs ( defra ) and the original data supplied by john langmaid and mark young have enabled us to create pdfs of all of the original micro - moth record cards and hand annotated maps . in addition to this , 756 species have been digitised to vice - county level to date . these important maps , which include data up to 31st december 2014 , are available below at vice - county level for the first time . many thanks to david green for his hard work on this project . please note that the maps are provisional and may contain errors .
below is a list of micro - moth species , with numbers and names as per the new checklist of british lepidoptera ( 2013 ) ( referred to as abh in the table ) . bradley and fletcher numbers and former bradley names are also included for users ' convenience .
to search for a species hold down the ctrl and f keys simultaneously to open up a search box . simply type in the species name , or part of it to be taken to the species . click on the icons to open up a pdf of the species record card and a map of its uk distribution at vice - county level ( nb : the pdfs are large and may take a while to open ) . to return to this page , click your browser ' s back button .
important - please note that the maps and accounts are provisional , subject to change and further update . the whole dataset still needs to go through the final verification process and it is likely that a very small number of records will not satisfy the present requirements and there are other records that have not been formally submitted . the information is for guidance only .
observations : increasing its range in the uk , but unknown if this is an adventive species , or migrant . larvae feed under the bark of dead and decaying wood .
august has been fantastic so far at the hall . i am still working on the species lists for the moth night weekend and some micros still await determination , i will post these results once finalised .
other recent highlights have included regular cypress pugs , golden - rod pugs and bordered pugs . one of the female golden - rod pugs laid eggs ; the resulting larvae of which i am rearing on common ragwort . several dark spinach , sharp - angled carpet , scorched carpet , purple bar and maiden’s blush in the traps . a birch mocha was a very exciting capture ( extremely rare here ) and best of the geometrids – a white - banded carpet on the 21st august . going on the smg website maps this would appear to be new to vc25 . i have never seen this species in west suffolk and it appears to have become locally extinct there .
still catching the odd pine , privet , poplar and elephant hawk - moth and odd late buff ermine and garden tiger this week .
ground lackey and sandhill rustic have had a good year and still catching these this week . also from the saltmarsh a late rosy wave a few days ago and regular saltmarsh plume agdistis bennettii .
silver ys have been an absolute pain – the new pronuba here ! hundreds most nights causing chaos in two of the traps along with wasps . a few gold spot have appeared and a single dewick’s plusia was picked out amongst the gamma on 17 august and represents the fourth bawdsey record ; though the first for the hall . other migrants have included several obstipata , peltigera and exigua and reasonable numbers of ipsilon . several janthina have been identified amongst the yellow underwings ( also a single fresh orbona a few days ago ) . the migrant pyralids – noctuella and ferrugalis are putting in an appearance with a couple of the tortricid crocidosema plebejana ( sometimes considered a migrant ) and the ever - present xylostella .
wainscots have been well represented this month with regular bulrush , webb’s , brown - veined and twin - spotted but the local white - mantled has yet to wander in . fen , southern , smoky and more recently second - brood pallens has appeared . odd l - album wainscots have occurred between the obvious broods and may well be primary immigrants .
numbers of xanthographa are rising with frosted orange and feathered gothic now flying . canary - shouldered thorn numbers are rising too and three red underwings have come to light this week with a single old lady last week .
micro captures have mainly centred around caloptilias – with several interesting ones retained for further examination . ethmia bipunctella has appeared in good numbers again this season . amongst the yponomeuta have been several plumbella . a lesser wax moth at light this week was a rare capture for here and also the wax moth which is much more regular . several agriphila latistria have appeared and pima boisduvaliella still a regular . summer fruit tortrix has appeared a couple of times and cochylis molliculana is currently regular ; acrolepia autumnitella , an epermenia falciformis and the tiny bucculatrix albedinella have also appeared . thanks to raymond for assistance with the micros and pug determination .
like martin , in thrupp , we ' ve had that well - known coastal species , marbled green , here in wolvercote , oxfordshire , in recent days ( specifically on 14th july ) : this was our first garden record , so very welcome .
several species are doing notably well this year - some nights we can ' t seem to move for swallow - tailed moths , and whereas usually blue - bordered carpet is a one - per - year record , we ' ve had several in recent weeks ( conversely , species such as flame carpet , which i ' d normally expect to see several times in a year , have only shown up once ) . it ' s also been nice to see species such as phoenix , ruby tiger and common carpet put in an appearance .
, but we ' re not sure , and the other isn ' t ringing any bells at all .
and the two insects below we are not at all sure about . . . ( though we appreciate they ' re not moths ) . as ever , if anyone knows what these or the above moths are , please let us know .
andy is correct with springtail and correct with picture - winged fly . the fly is anomoia purmunda the larvae of which feed in hawthorn berries and possibly other similar fruits .
many thanks , both : that ' s very interesting , especially about the non - moths . we ' re getting swarms of small water boatmen at the moment , too .
in the mid - week at philipshill wood , bucks , two li . . .

therfield heath - mines on dropwort found by john chainey . regarded as extinct in the county in
moths of hertfordshire
.
marshalls heath , 25th july 2011 , john murray . nationally scarce species - very rare in herts but perhaps overlooked ?
ten or more flying around rock rose , western end of church hill , therfield heath , late afternoon 10th july 2011 , john chainey . a very rare moth in herts , regarded as endangered because of continuing habitat loss . this is only the second record - the other was at hexton chalk pit , 31st may 2000 , by raymond uffen . colin plant suggested it should be looked for so it is pleasing that john has found it . the few remaining chalk downland areas of the county are very much under - worked for moths .
western end of church hill , therfield heath , late afternoon 10th july 2011 , john chainey . local and probably rare in herts .
braughing - another one here , the second on 10th july 2011 , ben sale .
5th july 2011 , long marston , alan bernard . also maple lodge , herts 1st july 2010 , and harefield , middx 8th july 2010 , simon buckingham . simon points out that this moth is a regular at a site in buckinghamshire only 8 miles away , he recorded 96 there last year , including 63 on 2nd july .
at the natural history museum garden , south kensington , middlesex 1 july 2011 seen by martin honey . the only other middlesex record of this species was made at parliament hill , 11 july 1996 ( ray softly ) .
several hundred at 6 lights abandoned from 22 . 00 to 05 . 00 hours , 27th june 2011 ( colin plant ) ; bayfordbury , 2nd july 2011 ( this newsletter ) . both records reinforce known very local distribution given in the book , but bloodhounds wood numbers are exceptional . large numbers of both sexes were dissected for confirmation .
berkhamsted , 27th june 2011 ( ian gamble ) and maple lodge nature reserve , 30th june 2011 ( simon buckingham ) second and third modern county records .
at braughing , 27th june 2011 . ( ben sale ) . second county record .
caught by colin plant at bloodhounds wood , bishops stortford and at a public event by alan reynolds and andrew wood . these are the fourth and fifth records for herts following one in totteridge in 1954 and two at rothamsted in 2009 and 2010 . the totteridge specimen is illustrated .
a single case and associated mines in leaves of hazel , bricket wood common , 20th june 2011 ( raymond uffen ) . this is a normal foodplant for this species , but this is the first time it is recorded in herts – previous reports relate to birch leaves .
braughing , 15th june ( ben sale ) – nowhere near appropriate habitat ; bishops stortford , in a garden next to birchanger wood , mid june ( tom lewis ) also in the wrong habitat . both records indicate the way that some wetland moths often move around and turn up in the “wrong” places . waterford heath 26th june ( andrew wood / alan reynolds ) , a dry site but 200m from the river beane . hatfield , 27th june 2011 ( stephen waters ) . nowhere near suitable habitat .
braughing ( in the north - east of hertfordshire ) , 20th june 2011 ( ben sale ) - quite unexpected in this part of our area .
found by raymond uffen at bricket wood common , 28th may 2011 , along a ' ride ' created when a pipeline was buried , at approximately tl 130012 . the herbaceous vegetation in the middle of the ride is quite unlike that in the clearings because of the alkaline boulder clay brought to the surface by disturbance .
two specimens of this day flyer were caught seperately on may 25th , a female at bramfield found sitting on an ox - eye daisy by andrew wood and a male at braughing by ben sale . this suggests that this species may well be elsewhere in the county and as an attractive day flyer it should be quite easy to find , most likely near wild privet its larval foodplant . nemophora degeerella is a confusion species but adela croesella is smaller with wingspan of 11 - 14mm against 16 - 23mm , the male has shorter antennae than degeerella and in both sexes the golden wing stripe has a less pinched outline
has turned up in hertfordshire – this time a freshly emerged male at berkhamsted on 20th may , in a light trap operated by ian gamble . ian retained the specimen which is now in my collection and forms an important voucher for this species in the county .
this record comes hot on the heels of the earlier reported example caught by alan bernard at long marston on 6th may and supplements some recently received records from the tring area by gavin broad on 2nd may , 24th may and 10th june in 2010 . from all this , it now seems almost certain that this species is resident in the extreme west of the county in spite of me declaring it extinct in “the moths of hertfordshire” on the basis that there had been no reports since 1992 , and none suggesting residency since about 1938 .
this is a moth of chalk downland where the caterpillar feeds on wild thyme . this last capture was a mere 4 days ago and the moth was freshly emerged – so it must still be flying . if anyone is able to get out onto any of hertfordshire’s chalk downland habitat please do so as a matter of priority and be the one who proves we have a resident population . obviously we need to look in the west in the areas of berkhamsted and especially aldbury nowers nature reserve near tring ( could it be that all the recent habitat improvement there has allowed the moth to return – it would be great if we could prove that ) . however , please don’t neglect other potentially suitable areas such as hexton chalk pit and church hill / therfield heath near royston . the excellent “flora of hertfordshire” written by trevor james shows two species of wild thyme well - distributed in almost all the chalk grassland habitat along the border of herts with buck , beds and cambs .
it is clear that we currently have an outbreak of brown - tail moth in hertford town . most records are on the east side of town . so far there are no reports from other areas and so the outbreak is isolated - which begs the question
how did it arise
.
please keep a look out for caterpillars on bushes now ( see photo of a larval tent ) . i need you to report all sightings in herts straight away so the outbreak can be monitored ( not middlesex - these can wait to year end as it is a common moth in middx ) .

2 days ago i noticed two 10mm black micros flying around each other in the sunshine by the water butt . they had a distinctive white mark on the rear edge of the forewing , and the head and legs were whitish . i went inside to get a tube to examine them in but when i returned the sun had gone in and they had disappeared . this afternoon i saw one again perched on the water butt , and this time it was still there when i returned with a tube . . . . it ' s psychoides filicivora , which is a new hertfordshire species . i don ' t think there ' s much doubt , as the water butt is surrounded by ferns , especially hartstongue , on which it feeds .
liz goodyear obbtained and photographed the second hertfordshire record ( and our first spring record ) of the migrant dewick ' s plusia at ware on 27th april .
this large geometer has a patchy distribution in hertfordshire . this one was photgraphed by andrew wood in hertford on 13 april 2011
there are very few records for this early flying tortrix in hertfordshire . this one was photgraphed by roger prue in hemel hempstead on 31st march 2011
first of all , a big thank you to everyone who came to the annual meeting yesterday and helped make it the success that i believe it was . by the end of the day , nearly 70 people had turned up . our guest speaker , mark parsons , the moth conservation officer at butterfly conservation , gave us a very useful and informative talk about the moth - related aspects of the work undertaken by bc , which is based in dorset . for almost an hour , mark gave us an overview the many projects that bc undertakes , or in which it either plays a lead role or for which it provides financial support , in a relaxed and informal style that was perfectly suited to a sunny saturday afternoon .
this attractive but rarely seen tortrix came to liz goodyear ' s garden trap on 1st april in ware . there are only 14 records in the county database and all of the ones in the last 5 years have been from the far west of the hertfordshire
this notifiable species has spread from kew gardens into the middlesex london boroughs of ealing , brent , hounslow and richmond in recent years . this species should not be handled at any life stage . the forestry commission has , this year , changed from an eradication to a containment policy so it is more likely that there may be a spread of this species further northwards . the articles here may be of interest :
colin plant ' s book contains 9 records for this species from 1998 - 2006 , since then it has expanded its range and this spring we have already had several records . it has been recorded in hertford on 21 march ( alan reynolds ) , bayfordbury on 24 march , just outside hertford ( shaun dowman ) and walkern on 23 march ( john pearson ) .
these two small day flying moths are now active in woodland in hertfordshire . the orange underwing is associated with birch and the light orange underwing with aspen . they are often difficult to separate as they either fly high on sunny days or come down to
mud puddle
where their basically brown appearance disguises them well against wet mud until they are disturbed when they fly away rapidly frequently not settling . on 24th march alan reynolds was able to capture a series of images showing the probably less common light orange underwing . in this case the identification is based on features used in the
geometrid moths of europe
by axel hausmann , principally the dark unchequered hindwing fringe . comments on this id are welcomed !
for moth sightings in and around herefordshire and worcestershire . we can also help with id ' s .
it is with some sadness that it has been decided that mike harper will no longer continue in the role of hereford county moth recorder , due to long term ill health . sheila would really appreciate it if no - one made contact with mike regarding this please .
from immediate effect phyl king becomes hereford macro - moth county recorder and i become the micro - moth recorder . however , i will also have a copy of the mapmate macro - moth database and will be more than happy to receive macro - moth records from you all and answer queries and produce data upon request . of course phyl will too . the county database is for everyone to have information from and i will be glad to help in this respect .
the micro - moth database needs re - building , with a mass of information needing entering to bring it up to date , a lot of it mike harper ' s records . this will take some time to do , but i plan to start as soon as possible with the aim to have available all information on hereford micro - moths , both new and historical .
if you click on the link on the right hand side for the list of county moth recorders , you will find details of us both in there and this is a request for all people with moth records , however old , to submit them to me ( or phyl ) soonest please . if they are in notebook form , i am happy to input these for you . one such recorder last year was delighted when i put in 30 , 000 of his moth records over the winter months . i am happy to do this for anyone with hereford records ( notebooks returned after of course ) .
some of you i know , and some i don ' t . so please can i apologise now if i query a record . for the micro - moths i shall be using the butterfly conservation guide , plus my own experience in micro - moths . for macro - moths it will be those that need dissection or are unusual in their rarity or timing .
three nights of trapping just south of barcelona did not produce any vestals , but i had one at home this morning in worcestershire . this striped hawk - moth was my spanish highlight .
alan prior at hall green has also had a good migrant in the last couple of nights , palpita vitrealis ( photo may follow ) .
he also trapped an interesting form of swallow - tailed moth which according to warwicshire cmr david brown is a recognised form but very scarce .
upon returning from patrick ' s hawkbatch venture i just had time to go through the garden trap . the big surprise was a vestal on the perspex . are these breeding individuals ? seems rather like the bordered straw summer records of 2015 . seems most unlikely to be a migrant .
just to note that this june 2017 has been the second best for moths in 11 years recording , only bettered by 2011 .
. i ran 3 traps , using my custom built wheelbarrow to transport traps , cables and generator to a suitable location and was joined by ian machin and steve whitehouse .
great farley wood in north worcestershire had just a handful of very old moth records on the mapmate database so my visit on the 21st june , the last night of the heatwave , seemed more valuable than usual because even common moths would be new for the site . as it turned out it wasn ' t just common moths i recorded ,
is a very scarce species in worcestershire but i recorded 8 of them on a ride bordering mixed conifers and broadleaved trees .
( adult ) were all new moths for me and in the perfect conditions my 4 traps were humming . i ' m still working on some of the tricky species but the total will certainly be over 160 .
a small brown pyrale - like moth has now been identified that came to one of the traps . it ' s a marsh oblique - barred . such a tiny macro - moth , but nonetheless a county first for hereford .
had to have a day ' s rest today to catch up on the recent heatwave moths and pinch several 40 winks - oh and a few dog walks ! first up are all the garden goodies in this hot spell : macro highlights have been satin lutestring , beautiful snout , red - necked footman , blotched emerald , up to 8 scarlet tigers nightly , more grass rivulets , lilac beauty , beautiful carpet , leopards and a wainscot invasion on the 20th - 14 smoky , 4 common , 2 shoulder - striped and a garden first obscure . unusual micros included formosa , oppressana and ljungiana .
at burlish top , i have netted trifolli , many sinuella , pterodactyla , brunnichana and marbled white butterflies . today in the wyre , near tanner ' s hill car park , i netted the scarce oliviella .
my third night in a row . who needs sleep ? promising to be another warm still night , i decided i was well overdue a visit to this site . the weather station hit 33 late afternoon , but it dropped really quickly just before dark and by the time the lights went on it was 21 . the good news was that it stayed warm , dropping only to 18 by the time i had packed up and left after the 3 hour session plus going through time ( around 2 . 30am ) . the bad news was that the breeze picked up and this seemed to reduce the micro - moths in particular from flying too much . i was joined for part of the night by a neighbour - evan bowen - jones of hwt .
as per usual i have some minors and pugs to look at more closely plus around 10 species of micro - moth to id also . to date the species tally stands at 101 species of macro - moth and 29 species of micro - moth , so i anticipate the final list will be about 140 species . to my surprise the commonest moth was grass rivulet with 88 individuals counted . single examples of triple - spotted clay , ruddy carpet , white satin and an obscure wainscot appeared . phyl , how many obscure wainscot records do we have now for hereford ? two or three ? the only dagger to turn up proved to be a dark dagger upon closer inspection .
since trapping in herefordshire ( third season now ) , all of my burnished brass have either had no band between the two burnished parts , or at best a narrow band . chatting to colin plant , these are likely to be the real burnished brass . for the first time last night i had a good candidate for the cryptic brass (
) , it having a thicker band and a very rounded edge to the cross linkage . it ' s worth noting each time you catch one in the event they are offically recognised as two species . see :
) . and with the lack of any dew , a cool breeze , it was a joy to be outside .
which will be the third and fourth records for this moth in herefordshire . i recorded it on the other side of the wood last year .
haugh is a really excellent site and for me it is like holiday mothing , even relatively common species like pretty chalk carpet and haworth ' s pug are species i don ' t see in north worcestershire . unfortunately the journey from halesown to haugh is also a bit like going on holiday so it is not a site i visit very often .
just returned from a week at nant cottage on the edge of the gwyrdyr forest , vc49 , an excellent location for running a moth trap in the grounds and just 30 mins from the north wales coast .
photography was limited to snapshots , often in - the - pot , so a montage of just a few of the species recorded .
clouded magpie , nemapogon koenigi , horehound plume larva ( wheeleria spilodactylus ) , pyrausta ostrinalis , nant cottage , cloaked pug , plain plume ( hellinsia tephradactyla ) tbc . brussels lace , garden tiger larva .
ran 2 lights in the garden last night ( bringsty common ) , on what proved to be a busy night for moths ( and glow - worms ) . i say glow - worms because i had 3 females shining 2 nights ago , with only 1 last night and that attracted 2 males fairly swiftly . so my mv light had no competition . rather a lot of micros to go through , but the species numbers will top 100 for sure , not too bad for mid - june . the most interesting arrival were 2 , not 1 , cream - bordered green pea moths . a new one for the garden . one very tatty and one pretty fresh .
as the wind had finally dropped and it was forecast to be reasonably warm , i decided at the last minute to set off for haugh wood . on cue , the skies cleared at dusk and the temperature , which started at 14 degrees at sunset , slowly dropped , so that by the time i packed up after a 3 hour session , it was just 9 degrees and feeling chilly too . the cooler temperatures meant fewer micros and the macros came in slowly and steadily and all but drying up by pack up time . so far i recorded 62 macros , with a couple of minors and pugs to be looked at more closely and just 18 micro species to date , although i have a few potted up for id ' ing later .
in addition to the usual crew of expected moths , there were a few nice ones . blotched emerald is always good to see ( 7 ) . a really black satin beauty , a single barred red and a common lutestring all put in an appearance . my first ruddy carpet of the year turned up and 2 brussels lace also . undoubtedly the star of the show was a county first in
, a very pretty pyrale and well away from its known haunts in the country . migrant or resident ?
i found a small colony of chimney sweeper moths near to my home at norchard this afternoon . i think they are recent colonists as i have not seen them here before . according to the worcestershire maps they are the first 10 kilometre square sighting since at least 1990 .
plants now has 2 mullein moth larvae munching their way through . last year it was carnage for the plants , but so far fewer larvae seen this time around .
on friday evening on the 26th , i trapped in the garden until midnight potting a few micros to do later . i had to drive down to kent at 4am so i took the micros with me to id at my leisure that afternoon . one of the micros proved to be quite a rare one in worcs - cydia conicolana ( number 1269 ) . the only confusion species is cosmophorana - not recorded in worcs , which i ' m sure i have eliminated . i have retained the specimen for confirmation - perhaps oliver or patrick would be kind enough to study it after i bring it along to a forthcoming mothing event .
had a few entertaining day flying moth sessions at sandwich bay , netting cream spot tiger , oblique striped , dew moth and restharrow .
my second hummingbird hawk - moth today , this time inside the house . wings nice and steady with this one ! .
while trapping with tom woodhall and sue wright at ashwood nurseries last wednesday , i had never seen one with a dark red head . on closer inspection the following day it appears that part of the pupal case has remained stuck to the head like a dutch cap . the eyes are not covered and so i guess it has had no detrimental effect .
further to my post of 28th may patrick clement collected the 2 pammene specimens and did the gen det .
thanks to patrick for not only doing a great job on the gen det but also getting some great images of the moth ( far superior to anything i could have done ) . you can find the gen pictures on the moth dissection web site )
i was pleased to see this hummingbird hawkmoth on the white valerian this evening . my first sighting this year , after several local reports . this photo shows the proboscis deep in the flower .
walking through the abundance of wood whites ( 140 + ) and drab loopers ( 20 + ) today , i netted a little thorn . nice to see .
