A BIG deep breath.

 

A record-breaking night in Bedfordshire

I joined Matt and Lionel at Home Wood on Monday night in Bedfordshire.

The day had been absolutely scorching and hit nearly 30 degrees during the day and the night was meant to go no lower than 19/20 degrees, perfect muggy weather for moths despite clear skies we had absolutely no wind at all and no moon to contend with.

We setup 5 traps and a light and sheet under sweaty conditions, it was hot stuff indeed and once again I attracted Horse-flies!

As soon as it got dark, moths were absolutely everywhere with micros at first in their hundreds and then the Geometers started coming in and finally the Noctuids and boy was there action around the lights.

I've been out before and had trouble with lots of midges and flies but never have I had as much trouble from inhaling moths as well.

The species kept tallying up and it was hard to keep up.

We got to 100 species about 2 hours in and then from midnight it was about 1 or 2 a minute being jotted down.

Highlights were massively over-whelming with two County first species to start with....Rosy Marbled and Elegia similella.

Gen Dets of species retained so far.

 

Carpatolechia fugitivella m & f – been recorded there before

Carpatolechia notatella f – 3rd county record

Nemapogon cloacella m

Nemapogon ruricolella m – 4th county record

Coleophore kuehnella m (the white one)

 

Other Macro highlights were Cream-bordered Green Pea, 10+ Scarlet Tiger's, 5x Marbled Brown and Mere Wainscot.

 

In total for the time being we recorded 140 species of Macro and 148 species of micro, eclipsing my highest ever previous species of 252 with a grand total of 288 species!!

 

We finally finished packing up (which took over 2 hours) at 4am as it was getting light.

 

Thanks guys for the help you gave me and adding to the list as we went through the night.

A day late posting for a rightful reason!

  

On Monday night I once again rigged the trap up on timer (early to bed for me at 9) and was quietly confident that I would get a pretty nice catch come the morning.

The conditions were perfect if a little breezy, but with a minimum of 16 degrees, a little rain sometime in the night I couldn't have asked for better.

 

Getting up bleary eyed and rubbing my eyes I could not believe it!

The trap was probably the fullest it has ever been in my 2 years of trapping here. Moths adorned most of the Perspex collar, and every hole of the egg boxes had at least one moth in it.

 

Macro Highlights were a second garden Small Ranunculus, new for garden Dingy Footman and Large Twin-spot Carpet and the trio Coxcomb, Maple and Pale Prominent.

 

Micros were headed by a first for me, the lovely marked Athrips mouffetella.

 

A slightly knackered Currant Pug which just would not lay flat and kept adorning a ‘Thorn-like’ posture… I didn’t record this species last year.

Also a worn Epinotia abbreviana after much identifying was a garden first.

 

All the moths were pretty lively for their photo-shoots, well apart from a very dozy Pale Prominent.

 

66 Macros and with only 10 less species of Micros at 56, it really was a stonking night.

 

Tonight looks warm and muggy again, I can’t top this list surely!

On Monday night I once again rigged the trap up on timer (early to bed for me at 9) and was quietly confident that I would get a pretty nice catch come the morning.

The conditions were perfect if a little breezy, but with a minimum of 16 degrees, a little rain sometime in the night I couldn't have asked for better.

 

Getting up bleary eyed and rubbing my eyes I could not believe it!

A BIG deep breath.

 

A record-breaking night in Bedfordshire

I joined Matt and Lionel at Home Wood on Monday night in Bedfordshire.

The day had been absolutely scorching and hit nearly 30 degrees during the day and the night was meant to go no lower than 19/20 degrees, perfect muggy weather for moths despite clear skies we had absolutely no wind at all and no moon to contend with.

We setup 5 traps and a light and sheet under sweaty conditions, it was hot stuff indeed and once again I attracted Horse-flies!

As soon as it got dark, moths were absolutely everywhere with micros at first in their hundreds and then the Geometers started coming in and finally the Noctuids and boy was there action around the lights.

I've been out before and had trouble with lots of midges and flies but never have I had as much trouble from inhaling moths as well.

The species kept tallying up and it was hard to keep up.

We got to 100 species about 2 hours in and then from midnight it was about 1 or 2 a minute being jotted down.

Highlights were massively over-whelming with two County first species to start with....Rosy Marbled and Elegia similella.

 

Copied from Andy Banthorpe's email.

 

Gen Dets of species retained so far.

 

Carpatolechia fugitivella m & f – been recorded there before

Carpatolechia notatella f – 3rd county record

Neofaculta ericetella m confirmed

Dioryctria abietella f

Satyr Pug f 18th county record, only third since 1996

Teleiodes vulgella f (worn dark grey)

Caloptilia alchimiella m

Nemapogon cloacella m

Nemapogon ruricolella m – 4th county record

Coleophore kuehnella m (the white one)

 

Other Macro highlights were Cream-bordered Green Pea, 10+ Scarlet Tiger's, 5x Marbled Brown and Mere Wainscot.

 

In total for the time being we recorded 140 species of Macro and 148 species of micro, eclipsing my highest ever previous species of 252 with a grand total of 288 species!!

 

We finally finished packing up (which took over 2 hours) at 4am as it was getting light.

 

Thanks guys for the help you gave me and adding to the list as we went through the night.

A record-breaking night in Bedfordshire

I joined Matt and Lionel at Home Wood on Monday night in Bedfordshire.

The day had been absolutely scorching and hit nearly 30 degrees during the day and the night was meant to go no lower than 19/20 degrees, perfect muggy weather for moths despite clear skies we had absolutely no wind at all and no moon to contend with.

We setup 5 traps and a light and sheet under sweaty conditions, it was hot stuff indeed and once again I attracted Horse-flies!

As soon as it got dark, moths were absolutely everywhere with micros at first in their hundreds and then the Geometers started coming in and finally the Noctuids and boy was there action around the lights.

I've been out before and had trouble with lots of midges and flies but never have I had as much trouble from inhaling moths as well.

The species kept tallying up and it was hard to keep up.

We got to 100 species about 2 hours in and then from midnight it was about 1 or 2 a minute being jotted down.

Highlights were massively over-whelming with two County first species to start with....Rosy Marbled and Elegia similella.

 

Copied from Andy Banthorpe's email.

 

Gen Dets of species retained so far.

 

Carpatolechia fugitivella m & f – been recorded there before

Carpatolechia notatella f – 3rd county record

Neofaculta ericetella m confirmed

Dioryctria abietella f

Satyr Pug f 18th county record, only third since 1996

Teleiodes vulgella f (worn dark grey)

Caloptilia alchimiella m

Nemapogon cloacella m

Nemapogon ruricolella m – 4th county record

Coleophore kuehnella m (the white one)

 

Other Macro highlights were Cream-bordered Green Pea, 10+ Scarlet Tiger's, 5x Marbled Brown and Mere Wainscot.

 

In total for the time being we recorded 140 species of Macro and 148 species of micro, eclipsing my highest ever previous species of 252 with a grand total of 288 species!!

 

We finally finished packing up (which took over 2 hours) at 4am as it was getting light.

 

Thanks guys for the help you gave me and adding to the list as we went through the night.

Happy new year everyone! Here's my annual photo spam. Please enjoy! bit.ly/sgmacro2017

A day late posting for a rightful reason!

  

On Monday night I once again rigged the trap up on timer (early to bed for me at 9) and was quietly confident that I would get a pretty nice catch come the morning.

The conditions were perfect if a little breezy, but with a minimum of 16 degrees, a little rain sometime in the night I couldn't have asked for better.

 

Getting up bleary eyed and rubbing my eyes I could not believe it!

The trap was probably the fullest it has ever been in my 2 years of trapping here. Moths adorned most of the Perspex collar, and every hole of the egg boxes had at least one moth in it.

 

Macro Highlights were a second garden Small Ranunculus, new for garden Dingy Footman and Large Twin-spot Carpet and the trio Coxcomb, Maple and Pale Prominent.

 

Micros were headed by a first for me, the lovely marked Athrips mouffetella.

 

A slightly knackered Currant Pug which just would not lay flat and kept adorning a ‘Thorn-like’ posture… I didn’t record this species last year.

Also a worn Epinotia abbreviana after much identifying was a garden first.

 

All the moths were pretty lively for their photo-shoots, well apart from a very dozy Pale Prominent.

 

66 Macros and with only 10 less species of Micros at 56, it really was a stonking night.

 

Tonight looks warm and muggy again, I can’t top this list surely!

A record-breaking night in Bedfordshire

I joined Matt and Lionel at Home Wood on Monday night in Bedfordshire.

The day had been absolutely scorching and hit nearly 30 degrees during the day and the night was meant to go no lower than 19/20 degrees, perfect muggy weather for moths despite clear skies we had absolutely no wind at all and no moon to contend with.

We setup 5 traps and a light and sheet under sweaty conditions, it was hot stuff indeed and once again I attracted Horse-flies!

As soon as it got dark, moths were absolutely everywhere with micros at first in their hundreds and then the Geometers started coming in and finally the Noctuids and boy was there action around the lights.

I've been out before and had trouble with lots of midges and flies but never have I had as much trouble from inhaling moths as well.

The species kept tallying up and it was hard to keep up.

We got to 100 species about 2 hours in and then from midnight it was about 1 or 2 a minute being jotted down.

Highlights were massively over-whelming with two County first species to start with....Rosy Marbled and Elegia similella.

 

Copied from Andy Banthorpe's email.

 

Gen Dets of species retained so far.

 

Carpatolechia fugitivella m & f – been recorded there before

Carpatolechia notatella f – 3rd county record

Neofaculta ericetella m confirmed

Dioryctria abietella f

Satyr Pug f 18th county record, only third since 1996

Teleiodes vulgella f (worn dark grey)

Caloptilia alchimiella m

Nemapogon cloacella m

Nemapogon ruricolella m – 4th county record

Coleophore kuehnella m (the white one)

 

Other Macro highlights were Cream-bordered Green Pea, 10+ Scarlet Tiger's, 5x Marbled Brown and Mere Wainscot.

 

In total for the time being we recorded 140 species of Macro and 148 species of micro, eclipsing my highest ever previous species of 252 with a grand total of 288 species!!

 

We finally finished packing up (which took over 2 hours) at 4am as it was getting light.

 

Thanks guys for the help you gave me and adding to the list as we went through the night.

Duttaphrynus melanostictus is commonly called Asian common toad, Asian black-spined toad, Asian toad, black-spectacled toad, common Sunda toad, and Javanese toad. It is probably a complex of more than one true toad species that is widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia.

Journal:

I used a picture provided by Lego and modified it.

A day late posting for a rightful reason!

  

On Monday night I once again rigged the trap up on timer (early to bed for me at 9) and was quietly confident that I would get a pretty nice catch come the morning.

The conditions were perfect if a little breezy, but with a minimum of 16 degrees, a little rain sometime in the night I couldn't have asked for better.

 

Getting up bleary eyed and rubbing my eyes I could not believe it!

The trap was probably the fullest it has ever been in my 2 years of trapping here. Moths adorned most of the Perspex collar, and every hole of the egg boxes had at least one moth in it.

 

Macro Highlights were a second garden Small Ranunculus, new for garden Dingy Footman and Large Twin-spot Carpet and the trio Coxcomb, Maple and Pale Prominent.

 

Micros were headed by a first for me, the lovely marked Athrips mouffetella.

 

A slightly knackered Currant Pug which just would not lay flat and kept adorning a ‘Thorn-like’ posture… I didn’t record this species last year.

Also a worn Epinotia abbreviana after much identifying was a garden first.

 

All the moths were pretty lively for their photo-shoots, well apart from a very dozy Pale Prominent.

 

66 Macros and with only 10 less species of Micros at 56, it really was a stonking night.

 

Tonight looks warm and muggy again, I can’t top this list surely!

Pine cones are a quick and easy subject to shoot at home, so we thought we would take a look at how to get some cool and creative shots from a couple of pine cones in our latest tutorial video.

 

Watch it here - youtu.be/KyF3I8vjrNI

 

A lot of you may have seen the pine cone shot on our homepage, it's one of our favourite shots to demonstrate what the Adaptalux Studio can do. We used the same pine cone (and a new one) to get a few more interesting shots.

 

A shot like this is achieved by pointing two coloured Lighting Arms across each other, shining onto the pine cone. You can see more about the setup in the video or the blog post here - bit.ly/adaptaluxpines

 

The coloured lights shine off the spines of the pine cones really well. Depending on the angle of the camera and the lights, they can create some amazing highlights along the ridges of each spine and shadows deep in the pine cone where the light can't reach.

 

We think the addition of colour to a subject like this can really take your creativity to another level, what do you think to shooting pine cones in this style?

Lethe confusa, the banded treebrown.
