  • The 2005 Striped Lychnis
    BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION UPPER THAMES BRANCH The 2005 Striped Lychnis (Shargacucullia lychnitis) Report for Buckinghamshire by Peter Hall On behalf of Butterfly Conservation and Buckinghamshire County Council Countryside Services. A special thank you goes to the following people who gave up their time and in some cases, annual leave, to help with surveying for this special moth. As more sites are discovered, and the number of known plants increases, full scale surveying becomes quite an onerous task. Weather conditions this year were also very mixed and surveying in full waterproofs is not the most comfortable of occupations. Andrew McVeigh, Julia Carey, Anna Humphries and Simon Pile of Bucks County Council Joanne Hodgkins, Neil Harris and Martin Barnett of the National Trust Martin Albertini, County Moth Recorder Eric Britnell, Alan and Juliet Gudge, Ched George and Trevor Hussey. The next survey is planned for 2010. Peter Hall 27th November 2005 Contents: Introduction Results and Discussion The Graphs The Tables The Way Ahead Introduction This document outlines the results of the latest Striped Lychnis summary for Buckinghamshire in 2005. The survey was conducted from July 21st until August 10th. All known sites were visited. New sites were discovered once again. In total 37,702 plants were surveyed revealing 5,075 larvae. Reports will be circulated to Butterfly Conservation, Bucks County Council, the National Trust and individual volunteers. Further publications are planned for the Entomologist’s Record and Journal of Variation, the Bucks Invertebrate Group Bulletin and British Wildlife. Electronic Versions along with many photos of larvae and habitat are available upon request. Please contact me by e-mail.
