Field Trip - Bramfield Park Woods - 01/08/19

 

Back to Bramfield on the 1st of August, and the other side of the road this time, the damper more grassy part with less mature trees.

The day had been very nice indeed and by the afternoon the conditions turned extremely muggy and perfect mothing weather.

There was a brief shower driving to the site, and as always thought I would be in for a wet session, so rain guards were adorned and cables wrapped in shopping bags!

Luckily that was the only rain all night and it stayed cloudy until packing up time at 2am if a little breezy.

Highlights were, 6 species of Ypsolopha, headed by the rare Ypsolopha vittella, 5x Gypsy Moths (a new macro for me). And two species that have be baffled, and that will be gen det soon.

 

With close to 180 species, this goes down in history as my highest ever August catch, probably owing to the muggy conditions and being just on the cusp of the new month.

 

Here is the total list.

 

Macro Moths : 105 species

Micro Moths : 73 species

 

Total : 178 species
