  • Common-Scottish-Moths-Online
    lea rn abo ut Scotlan d’s common moths Yellow Shell (Roy Leverton) Scotland has only 36 butterflies but around 1500 different moths. They can be found everywhere from sandy shores to the tops of Scotland’s highest mountains. Even a small urban garden can be visited by around 100 species. In fact, wherever there are plants there will be moths. Moths are fascinating and very easy to observe and study. This leaflet will help you identify some of the commonest and show you what you need to start “mothing ”. Moths have the same life-cycle as butterflies with four stages; 1. Egg (ovum) 2. Caterpillar (larva) 3. Pupa (chrysalis) 4. Adult (imago) They also both belong to the same order Lepidoptera derived from the Greek ‘ lepis’ = scale and ‘ pteron’ = wing, and have two pairs of wings. Moth Myths 1. All moths are dull, brown and less colourful than butterflies. This is simply not true. Several moths are very brightly coloured whilst others are cryptically marked and beautifully camouflaged. 2. All moths fly at night. Most species do but many only fly during the day, or fly both by day and night. 3. Only butterflies have clubbed antennae. Almost true, but the day-flying Burnet moths are the main exception to this rule possessing club-like antennae. 4. All moths eat clothe s. In Scotland only three or four of the c1500 species of moths do so and they prefer dirty clothes hidden away in the dark, and don’t like being disturbed or spring-cleaned! Macro or Micro? Moths are artificially divided into two groups; the macros (larger) and micros (smaller).

  • Butterfly Conservation Event Can Be Seen by Clicking Here
    Upper Thames Branch Moth Sightings Archive - January to June 2007 On Friday 29th June Dave Wilton carried out his transect in Finemere Wood and in the evening ran his overnight moth trap in his Westcott garden: "Moths seen in Finemere Wood were Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet (3), Clouded Border (2), Marbled White Spot (1) and Silver Y (1). My garden Robinson trap produced my first reasonable catch for a week or two, with more than 400 moths from about 80 species ending up in the trap. Best of the bunch were Lappet and Scarce Silver-lines, with Scarce Footman, Clay, Smoky Wainscot, Olive, Pleuroptya ruralis/Mother of Pearl and Phycitodes binaevella also new for my garden year list. The following evening a Blackneck came to our kitchen window light." Phycitodes binaevella Scarce Silver-lines Blackneck Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton ~ Thursday 28th June 2007 ~ Dave Wilton sent this moth report on 27th June: "On 26th June I was foolish enough to run my actinic trap at Westcott even though the temperature fell to 8 degrees Celsius overnight. The result was a pitiful catch of 64 moths from 17 species. Compare that to the same day last year when I got 800 moths in the Robinson! The poor weather of the past few days seems to have had a drastic effect on catches all across the country although last night did produce one new species for me, the Short-cloaked Moth. Looking on the bright side, thanks to Peter Hall and his microscope I do now have a few additions to the UTB list from back in April: Dichrorampha acuminatana, Elachista canapennella, Dipleurina lacustrata, Eudonia truncicolella and Parornix anglicella were all trapped in my garden, Rhopobota stagnana (B&F 1161, formerly Griselda stagnana) was found in the disused railway cutting west of Westcott Airfield and Pammene argyrana was caught in Rushbeds Wood." Also, while doing a butterfly transect in Finemere Wood on 20th June, Dave kicked up a Crambus perlella from the grass.

  • NUMBER 13 – August 2010 Wallblings
    Herald Moth, Pamber © Paul Sterry NUMBER 13 – August 2010 Wallblings... Welcome to the 13th Hantsmoths newsletter, delayed more than usual due to my annual foray across the Channel to pastures warmer where the moths are more exotic and therefore covers July and August together. Thanks to Tim for putting the bulk of this missive together in my absence. Please keep the news coming in, either to me directly at mike AT hantsmoths.org.uk, or via the Hantsmoths yahoogroup. Until the next time, Good mothing! Mike --------------- 1 Request for info: Cnephasia pumicana – new to British (and Hampshire) list For those who don’t get the Ent.Rec., the following is lifted directly from Entomologist’s Rec. J. Var. 122 (2010) (authored by JRL & DJLA), announcing a new species to the British list. “Moths of the genus Cnephasia Curtis are notoriously difficult to identify from their external morphology. It is often necessary to make a genitalia preparation to be sure of the identity. Whilst examining such preparations JRL observed a striking difference between two males of this complex. The paper by Chambon & Genestier (1980) illustrated and described these differences and suggested we had two species under the name of pasiuana . C. pumicana had been sunk into the synonymy of C. pasiuana by Razowski (1989), although Karsholt & Razowski (1996) mention that this synonymy was not accepted by Jaroś (1993). It was also included as a distinct species in Novak & Liška (1997), Szabóky et al. (2002) and in Aarvik (2004). It remains listed as a synonym of pasiuana in the popular work by Razowski (2002).

  • The Moths of Dunnet Forest Caithness
    THE MOTHS OF CAITHNE SS THE MOTHS OF DUNNET F O R E S T CAITHNESS A REVIEW OF THE MOTH SPECIES RECORDED IN DUNNET FOREST CAITHNESS AS AT THE ST 31 DECEMBER 2018 N E I L M O N E Y COUNTY MOTH RECORDER CAITHNESS PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW The development of Dunnet Forest from the original Forestry Commission experimental coniferous woodland to a community woodland managed by the community through the Dunnet Forestry Trust has reached a stage where changes in habitat are starting to drive change in the moth species being recorded in the forest. The purpose of this review is to detail moth species recorded up to 31st December 2018 to provide a base line against which future change can be monitored BACKGROUND The original forest was planted by the Forestry Commission in the mid-1950s as an experiment in forestry planting on poor soils. The forest was acquired by Scottish Natural Heritage in 1984 and is part of the Dunnet Links Site of Special Scientific Interest. Since 2003 the forest has been under the management of the Dunnet Forestry Trust (DFT) a community trust run by volunteers and employing two part time professional foresters. Covering 104 hectares the original coniferous planting was of a range of species but dominated by Sitka Spruce, Lodgepole Pine, Corsican Pine and Mountain Pine. About half of the area developed into mature forest with the remainder become a mixture of open space, scattered trees and scrub woodland.1 A CHANGING HABITAT DFT have been pro-active in the managing the forest both as a recreational resource for the community and in diversifying the habitat.

Prior © 2016 (Except where stated) 1 Sun Rising NBG Moth Surveys 2016 Introduction After last years reasonable start at recording the moths of Sun Rising, despite the mainly cold weather, another four visits were scheduled for 2016. The dates were chosen to maximize the chances of recording species that were missed previously. As always though, the weather plays a major part in achieving that target. 2016 was not a particularly good year for moths, but the weather did go in our favour more so when visiting Sun Rising than in 2015. Visit 1 – 21st April, 2016 Being greeted by a cold and nagging breeze was a familiar theme suffered on many occasions the previous year and unfortunately, the first visit of 2016 continued that trend! With all four traps being sited in the most sheltered positions possible it was to be a slow night moth wise. However, by the end ten species had been recorded with a couple being newly recorded at Sun Rising. So not a complete disappointment and Streamer (Anticlea derivata) is always a nice moth to see.
