Trip to Las Descargues 8th August - 18th August - Macro Moths
I made a trip back to Robin Howard's beautiful place in the Midi-pyrenees with my wife on the second week of August.
We planned to stay over our anniversary but we were unsure of what the weather would be like, so very opted for a slightly longer stay of 10 days incase the weather wasn't too good.
We are very glad that we did as the first 4 days were quite wet and windy and with daytime temperatures not getting much higher than 18 degrees, it felt like the trip back in June al over again!
Thankfully by Saturday the temperature had recovered and we were enjoying the sunshine finally and by Monday we made use of the stunning swimming pool that we had all to ourselves (although it was quite cold and took your breathe away). Typically on the last day (Thursday) it was really warm and the pool felt a bit warmer so we made the most of it!
Of course Moths were once again on the agenda, a I was granted permission to use traps aeound thr garden, extending to the ridge with a generator if I wanted to.
The first few nights were hard going and measly pickings but of course every trap had it's surprises in, and having not been here in August before there were plenty of moths that i'd never seen before.
2 of the traps on the first couple of nights got water-logged and then I had the challenging time of dealing with lively Hornets, albeit they are quite docile once the sun has rose and some mornings I just had to wait for it to get light before I could get near the traps.
We also lost one of the bulbs in the lower garden, I woke up to find it glowing green/white and thought it was odd and then getting nearer and realising the bulb had smashed, not good as Robin didn't have a 3-pin spare. How on earth it smashed when we had no rain that night (and it had a secure rainguard on it anyway) is beyond me. I could still see the light in my vision for about 15 minutes after which was slightly worrying!
By Saturday and Sunday, nights were really warm and temperatures kept in the high teens some nights even when the sky had cleared and working the traps in the morning (sometimes 4) was pretty hard work to say the least. Potting stuff up I didn't recognise, keeping a list on a notepad, the traps were full up and some mornings each trap had about 400 moths in, and I had 4 running! The best night I had around 160 species which is pretty incredible for August apprarently.
This first post I will list the Macro Moths that I saw on my trip.
I still have a few for identification as always but so far the Macro Moth species list stands at 193 species.
Species highlighted in red are completely new to me.

"I don't use my days off like anyone else would. I use them to go and visit the forsaken civilization we called 'home'. I look to understand why It is in ruins. But no matter what, I always find that it is because man is flawed."
A nice pic at the burned house. This is one of my favs.

Rhodes (Greek: Ρόδος) is a Greek island located approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,000 half of which residing in the homonymous capital city of the island. In the ancient history, Rhodes was the cradle of a flourishing Greek antique civilization, being famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In the Middle Age the island was successively ruled by Byzantines, Knights Hospitaller (Knights of Rhodes), Ottomans. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site. Today, Rhodes is one of Greece’s most visited tourist destinations.
Rodos (în limba greacă Ρόδος) este o insulă aparţinând Greciei, situată în partea de est a Mării Egee, la cca. 18 km (11 mile) sud-vest de coasta Turciei. Este cea mai mare insulă din arhipelagul Dodecanez atât ca suprafaţă cât şi ca populaţie (117,000 locuitori, din care jumătate în capitala cu acelaşi nume). In antichitate, Rodos a fost leagănul unei înfloritoare civilizaţii a vechilor greci. Insula a devenit cunoscută în lumea largă pentru Colosul din Rodos, una dintre cele 7 Minuni ale lumii antice. In Evul Mediu, insula a fost stăpânită pe rând de bizantini, cavalerii ospitalieri (“Cavalerii de Rodos”) şi de otomani. Oraşul medieval Rodos a fost declarat de UNESCO Moştenire Culturală a Omenirii. Astăzi, Rodos este una dintre cele mai vizitate destinaţii turistice din Grecia.

Look what I found! The matchbox fits perfectly!
This Vest Pocket Kodak came in by mail yesterday, isn't it fantastic? I'll show more of it later.
Introduced in 1912, the original Kodak "Vest Pocket" Camera represented "breakthrough technology" for its day. The pocket-sized folding camera looked almost exactly like the larger folding Kodaks but used a new small film size. The little rolls of film yielded eight 1 5/8" X 2 1/2" exposures each -- large enough to make contact prints but small enough to keep the camera palm-sized. The so-called "miniature" camera first retailed at $6.00 -- far less than the larger folding models -- and became popular with soldiers during World War One.
The "Vest Pocket Model B" which Mallory used on Everest, was introduced in 1924, and included several new design features. One of the most significant was the "autographic" window on the camera back. By sliding a small door open, the photographer was able to inscribe some information about the picture through the backing paper, directly onto the film -- a distant ancestor to today's "day / date" modes in some electronic cameras.
Well that is fantastic! A small autographic window on the back to write down some information of the taken picture!
