Moths and Butterflies of Guernsey 2013
The early part of the year was good but with a very wet late spring which then turned into a good summer and autumn. This led to one of the best recent years for both moths and butterflies. There was also a slight increase in the number of individuals recording Lepidoptera.
The highlight of the year has to be Mark Lawlor’s Banded Pine Carpet Pungeleria capreolaria taken to light at Les Effards. This is a central, eastern and southern species not previously recorded in the British Isles. In addition there were seven new Channel Islands records, one Bailiwick record and two new Guernsey records.
The following is a summary of the moths and butterflies recorded in the Bailiwick of Guernsey during 2013. The summary includes both light trap records and sightings by myself together with all other records passed on to me by others. In particular I would like to thank Wayne Atkinson, Trevor Bourgaize, Jane Cleal, Michelle Hooper, Mark Lawlor, and Wayne Turner. I have also included records from the Rothamsted trap and would like to express my thanks to the staff at Plant Health Services for continuing to set and empty the trap.
Unfortunately I have to report that Peter Costen has ceased to trap and record moths. Peter has contributed an enormous amount to our knowledge of moths over a great many years and his records will be sadly missed. Peter continues to work in other areas and we wish him well with his other projects.
On a brighter note two new moth trappers have contributed to this years records. The first Michelle Hooper who worked a MV trap at Trinity Cottages up until late July when she was sidetracked by bird ringing. Unfortunately it is difficult to run a moth trap and ring birds as both involve early mornings. The other newcomer is Wayne Atkinson who did some trapping during the middle of the year at Candie Road, St Andrew’s.
The butterfly recorders continue to provide records and I would particularly like to thank Ian Hall, Chris de la Mare, Andy Smith and Suzy MacDougall for their excellent work as well as all the birdwatchers who log their records on the Guernsey Birds web site.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken the trouble to pass on their records. In this rapidly changing world it is only by keeping good records that we can monitor changes.
Where monthly counts are given for species these are not necessarily exact totals but are intended to give a good indication of flight times and/or relative monthly abundance and refer to Guernsey records only.
Taxanomic changes have taken place since Bradley and Fletcher originally assigned each species an identifying number and this report has adopted the revised numbering system and nomenclature of the recently published Handbook for the Identification of British Insects :Checklist of the Lepidoptera of the British Isles”. The old Bradley number is in the second column and where nomenclature has changed the old name is given under the new name.
The species added to the island lists were as follows:-
