Sat. 11th August - Blue Anchor

Our original intention had been to run a trap at Huish Moor reserve for National Moth Night, but when the Foot and Mouth outbreak was announced we decided to invite people to our house instead. Ginny and I were joined by Roger Sedgbeer, John and Janet Dixon, Chris and Jenny Wood and Dan and Glenn Clark. We got 58 species + 6 pugs that haven't yet been identified yet.

A few new ones for our garden were :

  • 658 Carcina quercana
  • 695 Agonopterix alstromeriana
  • 714 Agonopterix yeatiana
  • 1260 Cydia splendana
  • 1316 Catoptria falsella
  • 1415 Orthopygia glaucinalis
  • 1439 Trachycera advnenella
  • 1646 Oak Hook-tip
  • 1708 Single-dotted Wave
  • 1945 Brussels Lace
  • 2008 Coxcomb Prominent
  • 2297 Copper Underwing
  • 2341 Cloaked Minor
  • 2342 Rosy Minor

In addition we got 3 - Jersey Tigers, one of the target species for the night
