Flimwell 19th March 2010

Common Quaker on the end wall this evening. Small Quaker and Twin-spotted Quaker appeared around outside lights on the 17th and Tortricodes alternella on the 8th March. Plan to run Robinson trap one night next week. Maybe we'll pick up Blossom Underwing...

Small Brindled Beauty - Apocheima hispidaria

One among 5 species this morning at Robinson trap run over a clear night with light frost: Spring Usher (1), March Moth (3), Oak Beauty (1), Pale Brindled Beauty (1), Small Brindled Beauty (2). Seems Brindled Beauty is not flying yet.

Also on the building this evening were 2 male Oak Beauties and a Satellite.
