(Other Than Moths) Attracted to Light
Insects (other than moths) attracted to light Prepared by Martin Harvey for BENHS workshop on 9 December 2017 Although light-traps go hand-in-hand with catching and recording moths, a surprisingly wide range of other insects can be attracted to light and appear in light-traps on a regular or occasional basis. The lists below show insects recorded from light-traps of various kinds, mostly from southern central England but with some additions from elsewhere in Britain, and based on my records from the early 1990s to date. Nearly all are my own records, plus a few of species that I have identified for other moth recorders. The dataset includes 2,446 records of 615 species. (See the final page of this document for a comparison with another list from Andy Musgrove.) This isn’t a rigorous survey: it represents those species that I have identified and recorded in a fairly ad hoc way over the years. I record insects in light-traps fairly regularly, but there are of course biases based on my taxonomic interests and abilities. Some groups that come to light regularly are not well-represented on this list, e.g. chironomid midges are missing despite their frequent abundance in light traps, Dung beetle Aphodius rufipes there are few parasitic wasps, and some other groups such as muscid © Udo Schmidt flies and water bugs are also under-represented. It’s possible there are errors in this list, e.g. where light-trapping has been erroneously recorded as a method for species found by day. I’ve removed the errors that I’ve found, but I might not yet have found all of them. -

INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction This Appendix Reports
RAYMOND BROWN EXTENSION TO BRICKWORTH QUARRY MINERALS AND RECYCLING LTD ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 4: INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix reports the findings of an invertebrate survey carried out on the proposed extension areas to Brickworth Quarry. Survey was undertaken in 2015 by Dr Peter Kirby and Christopher Kirby Lambert MBiol. Both are experienced invertebrate surveyors. 1.1.2 The proposed extension includes two separate areas immediately adjacent to, and separated by, the active workings. These areas are Church and Lowdens Copse (Area A) to the east of the quarry area and Gooseye and Sandland Copse (Area B) to the west. Both areas consist of a complex of habitats including remnants of ancient woodland, rides and tracks, damp areas, conifer plantation, grass fields and other relatively open habitat. Whilst relatively diverse, all of the habitats present are greatly compromised by modification. The majority of the survey area consists of conifer plantation on land previously occupied by ancient woodland. The plantation areas have been variously managed and in places there are remnants of ancient broadleaved woodland, a habitat that would once have been predominant on the site. In addition to the more extensive areas of broadleaved remnant there are scattered broadleaved trees throughout the site as well as large hazel dominated hedgerows marking boundaries. As would be expected from a site dominated by conifer plantations most of the site was under closed canopy woodland or otherwise heavily shaded. 1.1.3 A system of rides and tracks criss-cross the site and provide somewhat more open habitats but these are generally still narrow, shaded and support species poor vegetation. -
Bainton Heath – Invertebrate Survey 2011
Bainton Heath Invertebrate Survey 2011 P. Kirby report to the Wildlife Trust & The Langdyke Trust November 2011 Contents Introduction 1 Methods 2 Target groups 5 Nomenclature 6 Statuses 7 Timetable of work 10 Constraints and limitations of survey 10 Results 11 Assessment of the invertebrate fauna 17 Management suggestions 22 References 24 Appendix 1. Complete list of recorded species 27 Introduction The greater part of the area known as Bainton Heath has developed on tipped fly ash. The very free-draining ground which results is unusual for the Peterborough area, and developed a characteristic flora which, because of difficult growing conditions and rabbit pressure, was subject to very slow successional change. By 2011, however, the effects of succession have become very visible and a cause for concern. Very open conditions, with bare ground and a wide mix of low-growing herbs were formerly extensive, but are now restricted to relatively small pockets of high rabbit activity. A large area is occupied by floristically poor grassland dominated by wood small-reed Calamagrostis epigeios, and scrub, dominated by hawthorn, bramble and rose, is widespread and in places dense, especially towards the edges of the tip. Invertebrate survey was commissioned by the Langdyke Trust in 2011 to inform management of the site. The 2011 survey area includes only the northern part of the former fly-ash tip, but extends into peripheral habitats. A strip of land along the northern side contains plantation woodland, two pools, and scrub and rough grassland on “native” substrate, and there are planted trees – especially conifers – along the bank which forms the edge of the tip to the east. -
Pollinator Survey Report Year 2
January 2016 Gabrielle Flinn and Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary Over the three year project, Fife’s Buzzing is creating wildflower meadows at 16 parks totalling over 12 hectares across Fife. Sites have been selected across the Kingdom of Fife to deliver multiple benefits to both wildlife and people. The creation and enhancement of meadows through this project includes planting a range of native wildflower species of known origin that will provide vital foraging habitat for pollinating insects and other wildlife. Surveys to record invertebrates, focusing on pollinating insects, before and after meadow creation will identify species using the meadow as well as changes over the project lifetime. During pollinator surveys in August 2015, a total of thirteen parks, selected for meadow creation and enhancement in autumn 2014 and spring 2015, were surveyed for invertebrates. Ten wildflower-rich grasslands which had been managed or created by Fife’s Buzzing were surveyed: Dunnikier Park, Dunnikier Park Golf Course and Ravenscraig Park in Kirkcaldy; Public Park in Dunfermline; Cotlands Park in Kennoway; Poplar Road in Methil; Riverside Park and Formonthills in Glenrothes; Silver Sands in Aberdour; and Guardbridge Park in Guardbridge. Baseline surveys were also undertaken in the Glenrothes Bumblebee Wood park, Leuchatsbeath Community Woodland, Guardbridge Park and at Woodend Park in Auchterderran. A higher number of species of invertebrate were recorded within areas of wildflower rich-grasslands (101 species) than in areas of amenity grassland during baseline surveys (5 species). A total of 101 invertebrate species were recorded during this survey this total includes 56 species of pollinating insect. -

Invertebrate Communities of Old Traditional Orchards in South Shropshire (Vc40)
THOMPSON & BLUNT (2018). FIELD STUDIES (http://fsj.field-studies-council.org/) INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITIES OF OLD TRADITIONAL ORCHARDS IN SOUTH SHROPSHIRE (VC40) IAN THOMPSON and GODFREY BLUNT [email protected]; [email protected] A study was carried out in 2015-2017 in 22 orchards in south Shropshire. The state and management of the orchards and their characteristic vegetation were noted. Targeted searches were made for eight nationally local or uncommon invertebrate species associated with mistletoe and fruit-trees. Six target species were found, along with 306 other invertebrate taxa. These are presented in four invertebrate communities and 11 faunal groups. Their functions in the orchards and relationships to each other, to vegetation communities and management are identified and discussed. The study found a few species of national or regional importance and many common species. Together these form complex invertebrate communities that are highly integrated into habitats of the region and potentially make a valuable contribution to regional biodiversity. INTRODUCTION In the extreme south of Shropshire is an area extending from just north of Richards Castle in the west to Neen Sollars in the east; generally bounded to the north by the rising mass of the Clee Hills and the town of Ludlow and to the south by the River Teme. This area has geographic and climatic conditions similar to adjacent areas of north Herefordshire and north Worcestershire. The traditional agricultural practices are also similar. In 2003 the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) office started work on an inventory of all known orchards in the area with the intention of creating a list and map.
