As far as we´re aware this was a first! This inaugural trip was ably guided by leading Andalusian moth expert Dave Grundy, who showed our team of six UK moth enthusiasts just how fantastic trapping can be in the varied habitat at the gateway to Africa. Using a combination of 125 watt mercury vapour, 15 watt actinic and 2 watt LED Skinner traps in locations including Cork Oak woodlands, Mediterranean scrub, and pristine sand dunes, the group encountered over 2300 individual moths representing 230 different species. Trapping in an area where mothing is relatively uncommon, the group were able to visit some sites never before trapped and contribute to moth-ology in Andalucía by adding new species to the area list, such as Euxoa oranaria and Nematopogon stenochlora. There were some fascinating moth-y highlights such as seeing 105 species in the Punta Paloma sand dunes, including such star moths as Giant Peacock and Spurge Hawk-moth! All of this was coupled with perfect weather in relaxing surroundings, where our tour participants were also able to enjoy a Spring avian migration spectacle at the nearby coast, seabirds and cetaceans on a boat trip into The Strait, and encounters with more fascinating wildlife of southern Andalusia simply by strolling round the forested grounds of our eco-lodge accommodation and the beautiful Spanish countryside nearby. On the first day of the trip, Dave gathered most of the group from the mid-morning flight into Gibraltar, bringing them the short distance to Huerta Grande eco-lodge, to meet up with those group members who had arrived pre-trip to do a little extra wildlife-watching in the area. After light lunch and some time to settle in, there were moth traps to go through that Dave had set up the previous night. We recorded 79 species on the first afternoon! We were thrilled to find an example of Nematopogon stenochlora - a rare longhorn micro-moth which was described for the first time in Algeria in the 1800s. There were no more records anywhere in the world until one was found at a nearby site in Andalusia in recent years! That’s what you call a rare international species! Also in the traps were 2 Lydd Beauties, the beautiful Gerinia honoraria and four Passenger Moths! While working the group had singing Iberian Chiff-chaffs, Melodious and Bonelli’s Warblers to accompany them as well as Crested Tits coming to the feeders at the centre. After dinner we headed out to set up traps for the evening, at Las Corzas, in the beautiful wooded hills of Los Alcornocales Natural Park, and up at the nearby Ornipark woodland nature reserve. We spent time the next morning going through our traps, IDing and photographing as we went. What a haul! We counted over 100 species of moth between the two locations. The group were particularly thrilled with the tiny shiny Micropterix ibericella and the rare Eriocottis andalusiella – which has only just been separated as a species from the very similar E. hispanica in the last couple of years. And throw in Dorset Cream and Portland Ribbon Waves and the stunning Lunar Double Stripe among larger species! As every day, Dave provided an excellent picnic lunch up at the reception area, and then after some downtime and dinner, we set out to put our traps out on the sand dunes of Punta Paloma. The number of times this site has been trapped can be counted on one hand, and the group were very excited to see what would be waiting the following morning. They weren´t to be disappointed! 105 species of moth awaited, including the Festoon look-alike, Hoyosia codeti, Giant Peacock and not one but four Spurge Hawk-moths! Also seen were 15 Speckled Footman and five of the very rare Euxoa oranaria. Added to the ones recorded in the Ornipark traps, we recorded a grand total of 140 species for the night! Absolutely amazing diversity. As well as trapping at the nearby Ornipark every night, the group visited Mediterranean scrub habitats at Pinar del Rey and Arroyo San Carlos del Tiradero, which provided not only breath-taking scenic views of the area but some great new species, such as the stunning silvery-coloured China- mark moth that is Parapoynx stagnalis and the Lappet relative Phyllodesma kermesifolia, plus Oak Hawkmoth, Alchymist, Latin and Goldwing. As well as the chance of African moth wanderers reaching our traps, May is also a time of intense avian migratory action, as tens of thousands of raptors risk their lives to cross the narrow Strait of Gibraltar between Europe and Africa. Later in the week Dave took the group to the nearby cliffs of Punta Carnero to witness this natural spectacle. The dramatic events of hundreds of soaring birds battling the wind to arrive on Europe´s shores has to be seen to be believed, and this group will not forget in a hurry as we had to stop the minibus for two exhausted Griffon Vultures in the middle of the road in front of us! Over 500 soaring birds made the crossing low over our heads, and the peril of the journey was truly brought to life by the sight of Griffon Vultures crash-landing into the sea, too exhausted to make land. A boat trip out into the Strait itself brought great views of around twenty Long-finned Pilot Whales in the 1,000 metre-deep central area, as well as views of a blow and subsequent dive of a superb Sperm Whale showing its huge fluke. We also had views of Bottlenose Dolphins and Scopoli’s Shearwaters as well as several Sandwich and a Black Tern. Several of the group stayed on before and after the main mothing event, to further enjoy the excellent wildlife-watching the area has to offer. We explored the salt pans of Barbate, where we enjoyed Kentish Plovers, Collared Pratincoles, Audouin´s Gulls, Caspian and Little Terns, a migrant Western Orphean Warbler and even a rare visitor in the form of a White-winged Black Tern. The nearby Northern Bald Ibis colony was a joy to visit, as was the Laguna de Medina where we connected with White-headed Ducks, Red-crested Pochards, Black-necked Grebes, Great Reed and Melodious Warblers.

November 2007 Phytophagous Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) of the Western Black Sea Region and their ichneumonid parasitoids Z. OKYAR & M. YURTCAN Abstract Eleven agricultural and silviculturally important species of Noctuidae and their parasitoids were determined in 33 localities from the Western Black Sea region between 2001 and 2004. The ichneumonid biological control agents Enicospilus ramidulus, Barylypa amabilis and Itoplectis alternans were obtained by rearing the host larvae.

Ichneumonidae der Arten Enicospilus ramidulus, Barylypa amabilis and Itoplectis alternans konnten durch Aufzucht der Wirtslarven festgestellt werden. 377 ©Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Introduction The Noctuidae is the largest family of the Lepidoptera. Larvae of some species are par- ticularly harmful to agricultural and silvicultural regions worldwide. Consequently, for years intense efforts have been carried out to control them through chemical, biological, and cultural methods (LIBURD et al. 2000; HOBALLAH et al. 2004; TOPRAK & GÜRKAN 2005). In the field, noctuid control is often carried out by parasitoid wasps (CHO et al. 2006). Ichneumonids are one of the most prevalent parasitoid groups of noctuids but they also parasitize on other many Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera and Araneae (KASPARYAN 1981; FITTON et al. 1987, 1988; GAULD & BOLTON 1988; WAHL 1993; GEORGIEV & KOLAROV 1999).

  • Biological Surveys at Hunsbury Hill Country Park 2018
    FRIENDS OF WEST HUNSBURY PARKS BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS AT HUNSBURY HILL COUNTRY PARK 2018 Ryan Clark Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre April 2019 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre Introduction Biological records tell us which species are present on sites and are essential in informing the conservation and management of wildlife. In 2018, the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre ran a number of events to encourage biological recording at Hunsbury Hill Fort as part of the Friends of West Hunsbury Park’s project, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Hunsbury Hill Country Park is designated as a Local Wildlife Site (LWS). There are approximately 700 Local Wildlife Sites in Northamptonshire. Local Wildlife Sites create a network of areas, which are important as refuges for wildlife or wildlife corridors. Hunsbury Hill Country Park was designated as a LWS in 1992 for its woodland flora and the variety of habitats that the site possesses. The site also has a Local Geological Site (LGS) which highlights the importance of this site for its geology as well as biodiversity. This will be surveyed by the local geological group in due course. Hunsbury Hill Country Park Local Wildlife Site Boundary 1 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre (NBRC) supports the recording, curation and sharing of quality verified environmental information for sound decision-making. We hold nearly a million biological records covering a variety of different species groups. Before the start of this project, we looked to see which species had been recorded at the site. We were surprised to find that the only records we have for the site have come from Local Wildlife Site Surveys, which assess the quality of the site and focus on vascular plants, with some casual observations of other species noted too.

  • TWO NEW SPECIES of MOTHS (NOCTUIDAE: ACRONICTINAE, CUCULLIINAE) from MIDLAND UNITED STATES Since Their Origins, the Ohio Lepidop
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 46(3), 1992, 220-232 TWO NEW SPECIES OF MOTHS (NOCTUIDAE: ACRONICTINAE, CUCULLIINAE) FROM MIDLAND UNITED STATES CHARLES y, COVELL JR. Department of Biology, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky 40292 AND ERIC H. METZLER Ohio Department of Natural Resources, 1952 Belcher Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43224 ABSTRACT. Two new species of noctuid moths are described and illustrated. Ac­ ronicta heitzmani, new species, in the subfamily Acronictinae, is known from Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and Ohio. Lithophane joannis, new species, in the subfamily Cucul­ Iiinae, is known from Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan. Both species are compared with morphologically similar congeners. Additional key words: Acronicta heitzmani, Lithophane joannis, faunal survey. Since their origins, the Ohio Lepidopterists and the Society of Ken­ tucky Lepidopterists ha ve promoted regional surveys of the Lepidoptera fauna of midland United States. These efforts have resulted in numerous new records and range extensions and in the discovery of several new taxa, The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate two recently discovered species of the family Noctuidae. Both apparently are re­ stricted to midland United States, Acronicta heitzmani, new species, is known from Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and Ohio. Lithophane joan­ nis, new species, is known from Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan. Both species are morphologically distinct from, and sympatric with, con­ geners, In 1964, J. R, Heitzman collected a series of an unusual Acronicta species in Missouri. The specimens superficially resembled A. fragilis (Guenee) which was not recorded from Missouri. In 1967, the first author collected a specimen of the same species in Kentucky; the second author took the first Ohio specimen in 1975, The specimens were de­ termined as a possibly undescribed species near A.
