Or by post to 22 Beaumont Place, Lancaster LA1 2EY. Phone 01524 69248. Please note that for records to be included in the annual report, the deadline is the end of February. Late records will still be used for the database, but once the report is written, I’m not going to update or rewrite on the basis of late records. The report is also going to have to be written earlier in the year, in February, as I’m full on with work in March/April and I just can’t do it! Greater Manchester These records should only go to Peter Hardy, 28 Hyde Grove, Sale, M33 7TE, email [email protected] - not to Laura Sivell. Some people have been sending their records to both, leading to a fair amount of wasted time in sorting out the duplicate records. Likewise Lancashire and Merseyside records should only go to Laura. Recorders list I always miss someone off, and that, combined with many new contributors sending in records via the Big Butterfly Count and the new iRecord App, has led to the decision not to include a list in this report, or future ones. Hours of work, and there’s always mistakes; it’s just not worth it. Huge thanks to all of you though. Record Validation A few records that seem improbably out of area or outside the normal flight time have been omitted, or included but with a proviso. Of the Big Butterfly Count records, each record has been checked against a map and those records which were judged improbable - mainly of Common Blue in urban areas - were excluded along with the Marbled Whites. Inexperienced recorders can easily mistake a common from a Holly Blue which would be the likelier species in urban gardens. Last year, the data set included records from the iRecord app. This year, I’m still waiting for those to arrive so they are not included. - the staff at BC are busy with the moth atlas. Likewise the Garden Butterfly Scheme, and the WCBS. The New Recorded Squares Table As I said I’d do in the last report, the table now shows the percentage of the total number of squares recorded that showed each species. It should give more accurate trends for the more generalist and widespread species. It will show less change in the rarer species as all/most of these are covered by site transects on the specialised habitats in which they are found, which are going to be visited and counted no matter how many squares are recorded in total. Any change in the percentage of those is going to be partly down to total recording effort, and partly down to trends within the species. White-letter Hairstreak Overall, the table gives some quite interesting results. This one, for White-letter Hairstreak gives a great demonstration of how well it has been doing in recent years. The drought of 2018 forced many of them down from their treetops to feed on flowers, when their aphid honeydew dried up, revealing many new sites. Best year ever for them. Vertical axis is percentage of total squares. The 2017 and 2018 Butterfly Seasons 2017 was a fairly ordinary summer, but with a very mild autumn with good temperatures into December leading to some unusually late records. 2018 gave us the Beast from the East in March, which will have delayed the emergence of those species hibernating as adults, and been of no benefit whatever to larvae trying to feed early in the year. A dry spring gave way to a summer drought and heatwave which went on for weeks; this gave some great views of species such as Purple and White-letter Hairstreaks which were forced down from their treetops as the honeydew that they normally feed on dried up, and they had to resort to sipping nectar from flowers like the majority of their kind. Flight seasons tended to be shorter as no days were wasted sitting out any rain, but numbers of Small Whites, Large Whites and Small Coppers were notably well up on recent years. It was nearly like the good old days. Except that there were no records of High Brown Fritillary in Lancashire, not a single one. That’s something I’d hoped I’d never have to write. It’s not that many years since north Lancashire was the national stronghold of the species, and people would travel from the far ends of the country to see them.

  • Former Philips Factory Balmoral Drive / Rufford Road Southport PDF 180 KB
    Report to: PLANNING COMMITTEE Date of Meeting: 6th June 2018 Subject: DC/2017/01325 Former Philips Factory Balmoral Drive / Rufford Road Southport Proposal: Outline planning application for demolition of existing buildings and construction of approximately 147 new dwellings, roads and open space Applicant: Catalyst Capital LLP Agent: Mr Trevor Adey Savills Ward: Meols Ward Summary This application, as amended, seeks outline approval for the erection of approximately147 dwellings following the demolition of existing buildings. Only the principle of the development and access to the site are to be considered at this stage. As this is an allocated housing site within the Local Plan and the indicative layout demonstrates that approximately 147 units can be accommodated and provides sufficient amenity and housing mix, the principle of development can be supported. The provisions of ‘Vacant Building Credit’ means that no housing which meets affordable housing needs can be provided as part of the scheme. However, a contribution is being made towards the provision of education facilities. Heritage and ecology matters have been addressed satisfactorily. It has been demonstrated that the proposal can be accessed safely and will have less impact upon highway capacity than the existing lawful use of the site. It is recommended that the development be approved subject to a section 106 legal agreement and to conditions. Recommendation: Approval subject to S 106 Agreement and Conditions Case Officer Steve Matthews Email [email protected] Telephone 0345 140 0845 (option 4) Application documents and plans are available at: http://pa.sefton.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=OTCF66NWIJF00 Site Location Plan The Site The site subject to this application was designated as a primarily industrial area in the now replaced Unitary Development Plan and has historically provided accommodation and areas for business and general industry, including occupiers such as Philips.

Adult sweetpotato leafminer, Bedellia Bedellia somnulentella. somnulentella. Photo 3. Adult sweetpotato leafminer, Bedellia somnulentella, showing the fringed fore and hindwings. Common Name Sweetpotato leaf miner, morning glory leafminer Scientific Name Bedellia somnulentella; previously known as Bedellia ipomoeae. Distribution Worldwide. Asia, Africa, North America, Europe, Oceania. It is present in Australia, Fiji1, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. Hosts Sweet potato, kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica), and bindweeds (Calstegia and Convolvulus species). Symptoms & Life Cycle The damage is done by the larvae. Mines are at first serpentine (snake-like), and filled with frass; they become yellow-brown and later grow in width, forming blotches (Photo 1). At this stage, the larvae protrude from the blotch to defaecate. Later still, holes are produced in the leaves as the blotches are destroyed. The eggs are laid on the leaves, usually on the underside near the midrib, veins or base of the leaf blade. The larvae are yellowish with pink spots along the back, developing into red rounded projections on all segments. When mature, the larvae are 5.5 mm long. They exit the mines and make a network of silk threads on the underside of the leaf. When not feeding, they move around inside the threads, above the leaf surface. Frass often catches in the web of threads. The larvae pupate there. Adults are greyish brown, 3.5-4 mm long, with a tuft of light yellow to brown hairs on the head, and wingspan of 8-10 mm (Photos 2&3).

Many new species, even within well-investigated species groups, have been discovered based initially on differences in DNA barcodes. We barcoded 437 collection Published specimens belonging to 40 pre-identified Palearctic species of the Elachista bifasciella group of moths 9 October 2013 (Lepidoptera, Elachistidae). Although the study group has been a subject of several careful morphological taxonomic examinations, an unexpectedly high number of previously undetected putative species is revealed, resulting in a 34% rise in species number in the study area. The validity of putative new species was subsequently supported with diagnostic morphological traits. We show that DNA barcodes provide a Correspondence and powerful method of detecting potential new species even in taxonomic groups and geographic areas that requests for materials have previously been under considerable morphological taxonomic scrutiny. should be addressed to M.M. (marko.

  • Summary of Cheshire Moths: 2008-2013
    CHESHIRE (VICE COUNTY 58) SUMMARY OF CHESHIRE MOTHS: 2008-2013 Authors: Steve H. Hind and Steve Holmes Date: December 2015 Summary of Cheshire Moths 2008-2013 Introduction With the absence of an annual moth report for six years and following publication of the 2014 report earlier this year, we have attempted to bring together some of the main changes to the counties moth populations since the last county report for 2007. Individual Micro-moth reports were published for 2008 and 2009 in the Journal of the Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society, Volumes 133 & 134, for Sessions 2009 & 2010 of the Annual Report & Proceedings but this is the first report to include the counties macro-moths for those years. Unfortunately, the amount of work required to produce a similar type of document to the 2014 report would have taken well over a year or more to complete and as such a more selective approach has been taken; this translates to producing an account for just those species that have either: been reported on very few occasions, or have undergone significant changes, either in terms of distribution or population Summary No fewer than seven new macro-moth and 23 micro-moth species appeared for the first time in Cheshire during the period covered by this publication; an astonishing number brought about by Moth recording continuing to increase during the period, especially of micro-moths. We received a record 8,200 records of micro-moths in 2008, yet this more than doubled to 17,700 in 2013. There are a number of references, particularly within the accounts relating to macro-moths, where mention is made of either: the nth Cheshire record, or only ‘n’ records this century, or only ‘n’ Cheshire records To clarify these comments, they all relate to known, submitted, validated records within the County database.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Introduction The subfamily Elachistinae (family Elachistidae) belongs to the megadiverse lepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea and contains presently 805 described species considered valid (Kaila, 2019). The larvae are obligate leaf miners, most species feed on monocotyledonous grasses and only some on dicotyledonous plants (Parenti & Varalda, 1994; Sruoga & Ivinskis, 2005). The moths are small, often cryptic, with a wingspan usually between 4 and 20 mm. Adults are poorly attracted to light and usually escape the general moth surveys and are poorly represented in museum and private collections. Therefore, the knowledge on species distribution is still insufficient. Since the monograph on Elachistidae of Lithuania (Sruoga & Ivinskis, 2005), only few papers dealing with the distribution of elachistid species in Lithuania have been published (Paulavičiūtė, 2006, 2008a, 2008b; Paulavičiūtė et al., 2017; Paulavičiūtė & Inokaitis, 2018; Ostrauskas et al., 2010a, 2010b; Sruoga & Ivinskis, 2011, 2017). The purpose of this paper is to provide new distribution data on two new and another eleven Elachistinae species reported from 11 administrative districts in Lithuania. Material and Methods Adult moths were collected by attracting them to mercury-vapour light and swept from low vegetation in the evening before sunset. The specimens were collected by Povilas Ivinskis (P.
