Newsletter 86 Page 1 of 22 Temperatures and Very Few Moths Norfolk Moth Survey c/o Natural History Dept., Castle Museum, Norwich, NR1 3JU Newsletter No.86 November 2014 INTRODUCTION Opinion seems to be divided over whether this has been a good year for moths or not! Certainly there has been much of interest, but that seems to have depended on local conditions – and they have varied considerably across the county and across the season. The mild autumn definitely brought some unusual sightings, with some species, such as Rosy Footman (and, indeed, other Footman species) producing unexpected extra broods in late October and early November. No fewer than ten –or possibly just eight! - new records for Norfolk were added during the year. The majority of these are species that seem to be spreading north with changing climatic conditions. However, two have slightly different background stories – Epinotia cinereana has only recently been given full species status, having been regarded previously as a form of E.nisella. Confusion surrounds the possible nineteenth century records of Endothenia ustulana, but we now have a definitely confirmed specimen in 2014. At least two more of the additions were migrants – Silvery Gem was not only a first for Norfolk, but also only the second for Britain. Meanwhile, a search for rare migrant birds on the north coast resulted in the surprise sighting of the county’s first Crimson Speckled. Some recorders complained of a generally poor year for migrants, CONTENTS: while others deemed it quite exciting, with a good range of species, including Introduction Ken Saul page 1 large numbers of Rusty-dot Pearl Udea CMR’s Report Jim Wheeler page 2 ferrugalis reported in the autumn.

As you can read Crimson Speckled James Lowen page 19 later, a confusion of dates with the locals meant that we visited Bryant’s Norfolk Moths Website details page 20 Heath on two successive weekends. Photographs page 21 This actually proved fortuitous, insofar as the first attempt saw very cold Norfolk Moth Survey Newsletter 86 Page 1 of 22 temperatures and very few moths. Woodland moths were the target for National Moth Night in early July and we paid our first group visit to Gawdy Hall Big Wood. If you trapped elsewhere over that weekend, don’t forget to send in your results. Many thanks to everyone who came along and helped or supported at the various field trips. Thanks are also due to all the authors of the different reports and articles in this newsletter. Without your efforts the newsletter wouldn’t exist. In the light of that, we would again appeal for articles for inclusion, especially for the spring editions when we tend not to have so much news to report. If you would just like to tell us about mothing on your local patch or in your garden, that would be very welcome. While on the subject of the newsletter, it may not be generally realised that monies received for it also help to support the Norfolk Moths website. With increasing numbers of people reading it online, the financing may be something we will need to look at in the future. Please let us know if you have any thoughts or ideas about all this. After giving it a miss earlier this year, we have decided to organise another indoor meeting for next spring. Our good friend Matthew Deans, from the Suffolk Moth Group, has kindly agreed to give us an illustrated talk on Migrant Moths of East Anglia. This will take place on Tuesday 14 April 2015 at 7.30 pm in the Orchard Room at Mangreen Hall, TG215030. Please put the date in your diaries now and come along and join us. In order to cover costs we have to make a charge of £3 for this meeting, but that does include a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of home-made cake. Finally, as always, a big thank you to all of you for your help, support and enthusiasm for continuing to record the moths of Norfolk. Ken Saul COUNTY RECORDER’S REPORT Please find listed below a selection of notable records taken from data that has been sent to me so far this year. The 2014 list includes eight species new for Norfolk (possibly ten), plus two new for Vice-county 28 (West Norfolk) and five new for Vice-county 27 (East Norfolk). The list also includes several species recorded this year that were last listed by C.G. Barrett in Victorian times, plus a couple of extra records from last year (2013). The New for Norfolk and Post Victorian Norfolk records in more detail: Yponomeuta irrorella (Scarce Ermine) - New for Norfolk. A scarce and local species, occurring in southern and south-eastern England. New for Norfolk in 2013 (not identified until Aug 2014) at Cley-next-the-Sea VC27. (I. Walker, 30/07/13) Amphisbatis incongruella (Ling Tubic) – Post Victorian Norfolk. Plain looking small moth, the males flying on sunny days. New modern-day record of a male taken at Dersingham in 2014 (01/04/14 Gen. Det. R. Jones) Scarlet Tiger Callimorpha dominula – Post Victorian Norfolk. A spectacular adult moth was bred from a single caterpillar was found in a ladies lavatory at Martham in 2014, the only modern-day record, of unconfirmed provenance, in Norfolk. (D. Holman, C. Stean 09/04/14) Psychoides verhuella (Hart's-tongue Smut) - New for Norfolk. Several specimens where collected and bred from Phyllitis scolopendrium (Hart's-tongue Fern) in a Heacham garden. (P. Cobb, collected 10/04/14, emerged 13/05/14 – Gen. Det. (Male + Female) J. Wheeler) Adult moths are day-flying and similar to the other fern feeding Psychoid, P. filicivora, but show a violet tinge and lack the white tornal spot. Lampronia luzella (Wood Bright) – Post Victorian Norfolk. Found very locally in woodland throughout Britain, a specimen was netted at Ashwellthorpe VC27 in 2014 (A. Musgrove, 10/05/14) Diplopseustis perieresalis (Eastern Black Tabby) - New for Norfolk. The first record of this species in Britain is from Tresco, Isles of Scilly in 2001. All UK specimens are thought to be either migrants or introduced through accidental importation of plants from Asia.

I have not listed the common migrants such as Silver Y, Dark Sword-grass, Plutella xylostella, & Nomophila noctuella. White-point records are not listed as we are not able to say which records are migrants and not residents. The records are for single adult moths unless given otherwise in the notes column.

    entomologische berichten 91 73 (3) 2013 Microlepidoptera in Nederland, vooral in 2007-2010 met een terugblik op 30 jaar faunistisch onderzoek K. J. (Hans) Huisman J. C. (Sjaak) Koster Tymo S.T. Muus Erik J. van Nieukerken TREFWOORDEN Faunistiek, nieuwe waarneming, provincies, areaaluitbreidingen Entomologische Berichten 73 (3): 91-117 In de jaren 2007-2010 werden maar liefst elf soorten kleine vlinders nieuw voor onze fauna gevonden: Infurcitinea teriolella, Bucculatrix ulmifoliae, Caloptilia fidella, Phyllonorycter issikii, Coleophora motacillella, Cochylis molliculana, Cnephasia sedana, Clepsis dumicolana, Lobesia botrana, Pseudococcyx tessulatana en Evergestis aenealis. Daarnaast werden drie soorten al elders gemeld: Caloptilia hemidactylella, Cydalima perspectalis en Bucculatrix ainsliella. Na 30 jaar van jaarlijsten geven we een evaluatie, met onder andere een totaal van 128 nieuw gemelde soorten. Dit zijn er minder dan in Denemarken, maar meer dan op de Britse Eilanden of in Zweden. We verklaren deze verschillen door het verschil in oppervlak van de landen: hoe kleiner het land, hoe meer kans dat er nieuwe soorten gevonden worden. Dit jaaroverzicht is het laatste dat in deze vorm verschijnt. Dit is het negentiende jaaroverzicht van de Nederlandse Micro- die beoordeeld konden worden door specialisten.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 29, No. 2, 227-240, 2020, Zagreb. In 2016 and 2017 a survey of the butterflies and moth fauna of the island of Lokrum, Dubrovnik was carried out. A total of 208 species were recorded, which, together with 15 species from the literature, raised the total number of known species to 223. The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the lit- erature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural succession as well as the introduction of the European Rabbit and Indian Peafowl. Their presence has probably had a tremendously detrimental effect on the native flora and fauna of the island. To conserve the Lepidop- tera fauna of the island, and the still remaining biodiversity, immediate eradication of these introduced species is needed.

Abstract A local gradation of the bird-cherry-Ennine Yponomeuta evonymellus D&S in Middle Franconia, Southern Gennany, led to an intemet-search for fiirther facts all around this moth in the internet. Key words: Yponomeuta, silk, repair service, Middle Franconia Anlass Im Juni 2010 gab es an der Schwabach bei Erlangen, Mittelfranken, eine eindrucksvolle Raupenkalamität zu sehen. Die Bäume waren bis unter die Spitze leer gefressen und total von einer Seidenhaut eingehüllt. Die Gespinste waren sogar in der Nähe der Bäume auch über die niederen Pflanzen verbreitet. Vorwiegend in den Astgabeln der Bäume fanden sich bis überfaustgroße Kokonknäuel, ebenfalls von Seidenfäden umgeben. Gespinstmotten der Familie Yponomeutidae hatten hier ganze Arbeit geleistet. Das Gemeinschaftsessen Die Bäume vermittelten den Eindruck, als ob das ihr Lebensende sei. Kaum 4 Wochen später hatten sie aber erneuet ausgetrieben und waren belaubt, als sei nichts gewesen.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.
