My first ever Moth Night Event, I was so so excited and when we arrived David Brown the event leader and Warwickshire moth recorder greeted us such a friendly welcoming man, once everyone arrived we had a walk round to pick are spots and then set up, it was such a fun night checking are traps and then walking round looking at the other traps, and everyone was so nice and friendly and excited to show you the Moths, it was just amazing this is what I call a good night out :)
Had lot's of new Moths all so beautiful but think My fav has to be The Herald just stunning and one I had always wanted to see, and also The Drinker so cute and Beautiful :)
Other Highlights were : Chinese Character (another beauty), Magpie, Red Twin-spot Carpet, Dusky Sallow, Lesser Swallow Prominent, Scorched Carpet, Lunar-spotted Pinion all lifers and also had a Lovley marked July Highflyer, Pebble Prominent and Yellow-tail. Also Loads of Shaded Broad-bars.
Also had lot's of new Micro moths, Cochylis hybridella, Cochylis roseana, Agapeta zoegana, all new micros and also had a nicely marked Carcina quercana.
Both C.hybridella and C.roseana were new for the SP45 10k Square.
Can't wait for next year for more Moth Nights, a big thank you to David Brown for a great event and to all the people there that made the night special and a big big thank you to Dave for taking me, best night ever :)
