Carmarthenshire Moth & Butterfly Group CARMARTHENSHIRE MOTH & BUTTERFLY GROUP NEWSLETTER ISSUE No.8 JULY 2007 Editor: Jon Baker (County Moth Recorder for VC44 Carms) INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 8th Newsletter. What an incredibly awful summer we are having. Not sure that I can remember a day in the last 7 weeks when it hasn’t rained, or been cold, or windy… or raining, cold AND windy. Full marks for effort to those of you who have bothered to put a trap out, and even more kudos to anyone who has trapped out “in the field”. Some impressive results have been had by day with the micros, in breaks between the showers. Sam Bosanquet in particular has been busy out and about in unexplored areas of the county, proving that there is so much still to be discovered. His tally of good records included three new county records on the same day. And on the single occasion I put my trap out in the garden this summer, I managed to attract a rather nice migrant (see below), in uninspiring conditions. So there is always hope, no matter how grim the weather. In this edition I look at the few highlights that we have had since the last bulletin, as well as an article on Crambid grass-moths that I hope will be of use and interest. Striped Hawk-moth Hyles livornica RECENT HIGHLIGHTS Records are mine (JSB) if not noted otherwise 25 Ectoedemia intimella New County Record. Swept by day at Drefach (SN3639) by Sam Bosanquet on 19th June. Lives on willow Salix spp. And is one of the more straightforward of this tricky group to identify. 39 Ectoedemia heringi The 2nd County Record. Came to MV at Cynheidre (SN4908) on 10th June. Lives on oak Quercus. Photographed and released. Ectoedemia heringi 132 Incurvaria praelatella The 3rd County Record. Came to MV at Cynheidre (SN4908) on 10th June. Lives on rosaceous herbs. Photographed and released. 163 FORESTER Adscita statices This lovely day-flying moth was seen on several occasions during June in the Gelli area of Rhydcymerau (SN5739) by both Julian Wormald and Martin Lovell. 199 Psychoides verhuella The 3rd & 4th County Records. Caught by day at Pontnewydd (SN4307) on 8th June. Again caught by day on 17th June, this time by Sam Bosanquet near Talsarn (SN7826). This species lives on ferns, especially hart’s-tongue Phyllitis scolopendrium and is much less common here than its close relative P. filicivora. 217 Nemapogon wolffiella The 2nd County Record. Netted by day by Sam Bosanquet near Talsarn (SN7826) on 17th June, and live specimen confirmed by JSB. A nationally scarce species that lives on fungus (e.g. Hypoxylon multiforme) and dead wood. 266 Bucculatrix nigricomella The 2nd County Record. Came to MV at Cynheidre (SN4908) on 10th June. Lives on oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare. Photographed and released. 357 Phyllonorycter stettinensis Leaf mines found at Drefach (SN3639) by Sam Bosanquet on 19th June. Only the 4th County Record. 373 CURRANT CLEARWING Synanthedon tipuliformis One came briefly to pheromone lures at the regular (only) site, Johnstown Water Meadows (SN4019) on 26th June. This is the 6th time this species has occurred here, and it would be nice to have some sightings from another location. It has not been the “easiest” of months for finding and luring clearwings…. 598 Elachista kilmunella New County Record. At least two caught by day on 17th June at Mawnbwll Du Mawr (SN8126) by Sam Bosanquet. Seen, photographed and confirmed by dissection by JSB. Lives on sedge Carex spp. in boggy areas, especially in upland acid heathland. Elachista kilmunella Pleurota bicostella (SDSB) 654 Pleurota bicostella New County Record. Seen and photographed by day on 17th June at Mawnbwll Du Mawr (SN8126) by Sam Bosanquet. A species associated with heath Erica tetralix and bell heather E. cinerea. Another excellent find by Sam. 735 Monochroa tenebrella Seven were seen by day on 19th June along the Cwmann Railway Line (SN5847) by Sam Bosanquet. This is only the 3rd County Record. Lives on sheep’s sorrel Rumex acetosella. 788 Bryotropha politella New County Record. Caught by day on 17th June at Mawnbwll Du Mawr (SN8126) and at Cwm Holdfast (SN7926) by Sam Bosanquet. Seen, photographed and confirmed by dissection by JSB. This species is very tricky to tell from the closely related B. terrella and B. desertella and records need to be confirmed by dissection, I’m afraid. 1001 Lozotaeniodes formosanus Several came to MV trap on 10th June at Llanelli (SN4901), caught by Ian Morgan and identified by JSB. This species is associated with Scots pine Pinus sylvestris and although it is moderately regular in Pembrey Forest, this is only the first (or possibly second) time it has turned up at another site. 1182 Epiblema turbidana New County Record. Caught by day at Pontnewydd (SN4307) on 8th June. This “lumbering” tortricid lives on butterbur Petasites hybridus and possibly winter heliotrope P. fragrans. Photographed and released. 1292 Calamatropha paludella Caught at Pwll (SN4601) by Ian Morgan on 9th June and confirmed from the specimen by JSB, this constitutes the 2nd County Record of this species. See the main article on Crambids below for more information. 1381 Anania funebris A surprise find in 2005 at Betws (SN6412) by Barry Stewart, Ian Morgan has now found a 2nd population. Several seen by day on 12th June in the area southeast of Garn- big (SN5815), near Carmel. Photographed by JSB. This species lives on goldenrod Solidago virgaurea and it is well worth searching for it at other locations along the limestone ridge. Anania funebris 1502 Platyptilia isodactylus The 3rd County Record at MV at Cynheidre (SN4908) on 10th June. Photographed and released. 1739 WOOD CARPET Epirrhoe rivata Very few records of this species, which can be tricky to separate from Common Carpet E. alternata, have been made away from Pembrey, where it is uncommon but frequent. So a record on 19th June, by day, along the Cwmann Railway Line (SN5847) by Sam Bosanquet is a very good inland record from a new 10km square. Photographic proof is preferred of claims from new sites. 2017 SMALL CHOCOLATE-TIP Clostera pigra Larvae found on young aspen Populus tremula at Butterfly Conservation’s Caeau Ffos Fach NR (SN5711) from 24th May onward, by Martin Warren et al . Nearly all records in the county have been from Pembrey, so it is good to know that there are inland populations too. 2038 MUSLIN FOOTMAN Nudaria mundana A thorough search of the toilets at Gelli Aur CP (SN5919) by Ian Morgan on 26th June has turned this species up again. So far the only current population of it in the county. 2250 DARK BROCADE Blepharita adusta Martin Lovell scored the 7th County Record on 16th June at Banc Melyn, Brechfa Forest (SN5440), a new 10km square for this scarce species. 2327 CLOUDED BRINDLE Apamea epomidion The 7th County Record was caught at MV at Cynheidre (SN4908) on 10th June. Lives on various grasses and is surprisingly uncommon in the county. 2396 ROSY MARBLED Elaphria venustula Star moth of the year so far was this totally unexpected find, coming to MV at Erw Las, Llwynhendy on 12th June. Caught by Ian Morgan, it was identified (and photographed and released) by JSB. This species’ distribution is confined to the southeast of England and I have yet to find any previous Welsh records apart from one in 1886 at Port Talbot, Glamorgan (Barry Stewart, pers. comm.). Goes to show that mothing is totally unpredictable. Rosy Marbled Elaphria venustula THE CRAMBIDS OF CARMARTHENSHIRE A Review – by Jon Baker In what I hope will be the first in a series, I am taking a looking here at a family of micro- moths, starting with the Crambinae (Pyralidae), the grass-moths. Some of the most abundant species in Britain, they are common at light traps, and swarm at dusk in grasslands. Walking through any grassy environment on a summer’s evening you are bound to kick up hundreds of these slender little whitish moths. Many of them are surprisingly easy to identify if one takes the time to look closely. I’ve only looked at those species which have occurred in Carmarthenshire so far. There is always the outside chance that other species might be discovered, so if something really doesn’t fit with anything listed below, I will need to see it. There are also a number of other pyralids which superficially resemble crambids – notably Anerastia lotella (which occurs at Pembrey), so do not treat the following as an exhaustive guide. The notes on identification included below are merely tips and are not meant as absolute or comprehensive. The excellent British Pyralid Moths – a guide to their identification by Barry Goater is an essential purchase if anyone wants to take up recording of this family. But the following information and photos should hopefully prove useful too. I’m very grateful to all the skilled photographers who filled in the gaps where I haven’t got photos of my own. The first thing to note with this group is that some of the species are incredibly common, and where they occur can often be super-abundant. Therefore, when faced with an unknown crambid you should first consider which of the very common species it is, and only when you have ruled those out, look at other possibilities. The 6 VERY common species are, in order of ubiquity: Agriphila straminella Chrysoteuchia culmella Agriphila tristella Crambus lathoniellus Crambus pascuella Crambus perlella The following 7 species are much scarcer and can be classed as local: Catoptria pinella Agriphila selasella Catoptria margaritella Agriphila geniculea Agriphila inquinatella Agriphila latistria Chilo phragmitella All other species listed below are classed as county rarities.

  • Moths of Poole Harbour Species List
    Moths of Poole Harbour is a project of Birds of Poole Harbour Moths of Poole Harbour Species List Birds of Poole Harbour & Moths of Poole Harbour recording area The Moths of Poole Harbour Project The ‘Moths of Poole Harbour’ project (MoPH) was established in 2017 to gain knowledge of moth species occurring in Poole Harbour, Dorset, their distribution, abundance and to some extent, their habitat requirements. The study area uses the same boundaries as the Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) project. Abigail Gibbs and Chris Thain, previous Wardens on Brownsea Island for Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), were invited by BoPH to undertake a study of moths in the Poole Harbour recording area. This is an area of some 175 square kilometres stretching from Corfe Castle in the south to Canford Heath in the north of the conurbation and west as far as Wareham. 4 moth traps were purchased for the project; 3 Mercury Vapour (MV) Robinson traps with 50m extension cables and one Actinic, Ultra-violet (UV) portable Heath trap running from a rechargeable battery. This was the capability that was deployed on most of the ensuing 327 nights of trapping. Locations were selected using a number of criteria: Habitat, accessibility, existing knowledge (previously well-recorded sites were generally not included), potential for repeat visits, site security and potential for public engagement. Field work commenced from late July 2017 and continued until October. Generally, in the years 2018 – 2020 trapping field work began in March/ April and ran on until late October or early November, stopping at the first frost.

C. Lee 1, Stacey J. Anderson2, Lucy T. T. Tran-Nguyen3, Nader Sallam4, Bruno P. Le Ru5,6, Desmond Conlong7,8, Kevin Powell 9, Andrew Ward10 & Andrew Mitchell1 Lepidopteran stemborers are among the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide, able to reduce crop yields by up to 40%. Sugarcane is the world’s most prolifc crop, and several stemborer species from the families Noctuidae, Tortricidae, Crambidae and Pyralidae attack sugarcane. Australia is currently free of the most damaging stemborers, but biosecurity eforts are hampered by the difculty in morphologically distinguishing stemborer species. Here we assess the utility of DNA barcoding in identifying stemborer pest species. We review the current state of the COI barcode sequence library for sugarcane stemborers, assembling a dataset of 1297 sequences from 64 species. Sequences were from specimens collected and identifed in this study, downloaded from BOLD or requested from other authors. We performed species delimitation analyses to assess species diversity and the efectiveness of barcoding in this group. Seven species exhibited <0.03 K2P interspecifc diversity, indicating that diagnostic barcoding will work well in most of the studied taxa. We identifed 24 instances of identifcation errors in the online database, which has hampered unambiguous stemborer identifcation using barcodes. Instances of very high within-species diversity indicate that nuclear markers (e.g. 18S, 28S) and additional morphological data (genitalia dissection of all lineages) are needed to confrm species boundaries.

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.

  • Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River)
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 D (Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River) The tetrad TR13 D is an area of mostly farmland with several small waterways, of which the East Stour River is the most significant, and there are four small lakes (though none are publically-accessible), the most northerly of which is mostly covered with Phragmites. Other features of interest include a belt of trees running across the northern limit of Lympne Old Airfield (in the extreme south edge of the tetrad), part of Harringe Brooks Wood (which has no public access), the disused (Otterpool) quarry workings and the westernmost extent of Folkestone Racecourse and. The northern half of the tetrad is crossed by the major transport links of the M20 and the railway, whilst the old Ashford Road (A20), runs more or less diagonally across. Looking south-west towards Burnbrae from the railway Whilst there are no sites of particular ornithological significance within the area it is not without interest. A variety of farmland birds breed, including Kestrel, Stock Dove, Sky Lark, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Yellowhammer, and possibly Buzzard, Yellow Wagtail and Meadow Pipit. Two rapidly declining species, Turtle Dove and Spotted Flycatcher, also probably bred during the 2007-11 Bird Atlas. The Phragmites at the most northerly lake support breeding Reed Warbler and Reed Bunting. In winter Fieldfare and Redwing may be found in the fields, whilst the streams have attracted Little Egret, Snipe and, Grey Wagtail, with Siskin and occasionally Lesser Redpoll in the alders along the East Stour River. Corn Bunting may be present if winter stubble is left and Red Kite, Peregrine, Merlin and Waxwing have also occurred.

Received: 2 July 2011; in revised form: 25 July 2011 / Accepted: 3 August 2011 / Published: 10 August 2011 Abstract: Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) have been suggested for the environmental monitoring of genetically modified (GM) crops due to their suitability as ecological indicators, and because of the possible adverse impact of the cultivation of current transgenic crops. The German Association of Engineers (VDI) has developed guidelines for the standardized monitoring of Lepidoptera describing the use of light traps for adult moths, transect counts for adult butterflies, and visual search for larvae. The guidelines suggest recording adults of Crambid Snout Moths during transect counts in addition to butterflies, and present detailed protocols for the visual search of larvae.
