Redhouse Barns 29th October 2024
I set up the Robinson MV and in the morning was excited to see a Spiny Hook-tip on the outside of the trap. I knew what it was as Kevin Hewitt had sent me a photo of one caught in the north of the county by Wendy Tyler-Batt the day before! There were 3 more inside the trap, plus another on one of the baffles, making 5 in total. The foodplant is Holm Oak and there is a massive one only about 50m away. I also caught a Radford's Flame Shoulder, a 2nd VC record and again Kevin Hewitt had sent a photo of one the day before! The VC 1st had been trapped recently on the Blorenge by the Gloucestershire moth-er Jade Louise Gore. Also of interest was a Scarce Bordered-straw.
