This dissertation does not exceed the limit of 15000 words in the main text, excluding figures, tables, legends and appendices. i Acknowledgements This work was carried out on the land of Miriam Rothschild, who sadly passed away before its completion. I would like to thank her for allowing me to stay at Ashton Wold during my fieldwork and making me feel welcome there. I would also like to thank the Eranda Foundation for funding this work. Various people have helped with the identification of my material and I am very grateful to them for their time. Brian Eversham was of great help in identifying my carabids and also took time out from his busy schedule to assist me for a day during my time in the field. Ray Symonds dedicated a great deal of time to identifying all the spiders I caught, a feat which would have undoubtedly taken me many weeks! Richard Preece identified all my gastropods, and I am grateful both to him and his student George Speller for passing on the material to him. Roger Morris verified the identification of voucher specimens of all the syrphids I caught, and Oliver Prŷs-Jones did the same for my bumblebees.

  • The Ecological Factors Governing the Persistence of Butterflies in Urban Areas
    THE ECOLOGICAL FACTORS GOVERNING THE PERSISTENCE OF BUTTERFLIES IN URBAN AREAS by ALISON LORAM A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Biosciences The University of Birmingham September 2004 ABSTRACT Previous studies have suggested that availability of high quality habitat rather than habitat connectivity or species mobility was the limiting factor in the distribution of grassland butterflies, but were mostly undertaken on specialist species in rural areas. Consequently, this project tests the hypothesis that the quality of available habitat is more important than patch size or connectivity to the persistence of four grassland butterfly species in the West Midlands conurbation. Two of the study species are widespread (Polyommatus icarus and Coenonympha pamphilus) whilst two have a more restricted distribution (Erynnis tages and Callophrys rubi). However, unlike species with very specific requirements, all are polyphagous and can tolerate a wide range of conditions, making habitat quality difficult to quantify. Several means of assessing habitat quality were developed and tested. A detailed vegetation quadrat sampling method had the best predictive abilities for patch occupancy and summarised the habitat preferences within the urban context. A model based upon habitat quality and connectivity was devised, with the ability to rank each patch according to potential suitability for each species. For all four species, habitat quality accounted significantly for the greatest variance in distribution. Connectivity had only a small significant effect whilst patch area had almost none. This suggests that conservation efforts should be centred upon preserving and improving habitat quality. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council URGENT Program.

G. M. Bond1 and J. P. O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").

    MONMOUTHSHIRE MOTH & BUTTERFLY GROUP NEWSLETTER No 84 June 2012. A monthly newsletter covering Gwent and Monmouthshire Vice County 35 Editor: Martin Anthoney Monmouthshire Microlepidoptera - Changes to the county list since 1994 Sam Bosanquet Following Sam’s article in last month’s issue (No 83) on changes to the VC35 county micromoth list since the publication of Neil Horton’s book (Monmouthshire Lepidoptera, the Butterflies and Moths of Gwent) in 1994, attached to this newsletter as a separate file are details of the 181 micro species added to the list in the 18 years since the book’s publication. Scarce Bordered Straw (Helicoverpa armigera) This immigrant moth occurs in Britain most years but is usually scarce, though 300 were recorded in 1996. One of our members, Bob Roome, recalls his encounters with Scarce Bordered Straw in Africa:- I was introduced to the species in Botswana in 1968, as part of an Overseas Development Administration entomologist team from the Centre for Overseas Pest Research (London). As my first job, I accompanied two experienced entomologists charged with surveying the insect pests of crops in Botswana, carrying out research into their biology and control and advising farmers. We were effectively the first entomologists in the country and quickly set up the beginnings of a national collection in our new research station. Despite being a semi-arid country, merging into the Kalahari Desert, Botswana had a rich insect fauna. “Scarce Bordered Straw” was certainly not scarce where we worked. From the survey, it was clear that the “American Bollworm”, as H. armigera was known, was a major pest.

    The Butterfly Year in Haiku Richard Stewart Under the deep snow And beneath daggers of ice New life is waiting. Late February From a pine's darkness A calm day with warming sun One red admiral seeks sun The first butterfly. And the last nectar. Out of long darkness Juicy chunks of plum A comma with widespread wings A dripping pile on the lawn Soaking up the sun. Feeding butterflies. Prefers hedge garlic Two feeding commas Warmed by rays of evening sun On fermenting blackberries Roosting orange tip. Out of the wind's edge. On such a dull day On grey paving slabs Even a single small white Wide wings of small tortoiseshells Brightens the landscape. Basking in the sun. From a coal blackness Flying to the feast To this large eyed radiance Vanessids land on the first Peacock's open wings. Sunlit buddleia. Along the leaf spine A bright swallowtail Brimstone caterpillar rests Wings luminous in the sun Green on green unseen. Be still and thankful. Green hairstreaks emerge In the bramble glade With a scent of yellow gorse Large whites glide like admirals Heavy on the breeze. Through shafts of sunlight. Two peacocks spiral Up and up into blue sky Drifting with white clouds. It is pleasing that after I wrote that I wanted to see us achieving even more, the Upper Thames branch continues to be increasingly busy and successful, so, thank you to the members who came forward and allowed us to expand our efforts ever further. One of the areas where we could still use some help is in response to requests for us to attend fairs and shows.

In the event, we were saved by the most recent weather, and at least when the sun came out the persisting nectar-rich flowers attracted large numbers and a rich diversity of butterflies. We explored from the lowlands to the high mountains in weather that varied from warm and humid to very hot and dry, but with little rain by day at least. In total the week produced 112 species of butterfly, together with many dazzling day-flying moths (particularly burnets) and other wonderful bugs and beasties. Occasional moth trapping gave us a window into the night-life, albeit dominated by Pine Processionary moths, but with a good sample of the big, beautiful and bizarre.
