It was first recorded in Wales as a leaf-mine on Anglesey last year, and soon after I found a mine at Kenfig (Glamorgan). I couldn't find any mines in Cardiff last year, but this year they have been present on Blackthorn suckers in two of my local parks.</p><p>After a trip to the Lamby Way recycling site yesterday I called in at Lamby Lake to look for leaf-mines. <i>Lyonetia prunifoliella</i> mines were frequent on Blackthorn suckers in several places, the larvae mostly having recently finished feeding and busy spinning their elaborate hammock cocoons (similar to those of <i>L. clerkella</i>) on the underside of leaves.</p><p>It could be anywhere in the county already, so well worth looking out for. It seems especially fond of suckering Blackthorn between 2 and 5 feet tall.<b><br /></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnQPqmf3kCBn_J0a6zSKLFowIWHIjUppkGpVZnlk5xfDtFQ5SKRoyPDZHSqHQgKq8E_9-ZgOryAbxnWn_TzhBzjOyG6uVvdtthpwpdZDsOu_zAz24_ixBHDQptHqqSIhtDrgZjdnF_8nY39LJJpWeiUL0wJgW-_D_c613yffeXj10N2twjT1iOymDUjSA-/s3329/P9298938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="3329" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnQPqmf3kCBn_J0a6zSKLFowIWHIjUppkGpVZnlk5xfDtFQ5SKRoyPDZHSqHQgKq8E_9-ZgOryAbxnWn_TzhBzjOyG6uVvdtthpwpdZDsOu_zAz24_ixBHDQptHqqSIhtDrgZjdnF_8nY39LJJpWeiUL0wJgW-_D_c613yffeXj10N2twjT1iOymDUjSA-/s320/P9298938.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqlRgvihIGWATM2w4Uh4tDUxJB3xzW_aZ_i408h9OzxvJ2UNF0obszrVyZ-Y1tDla67zse9kTBV8nw7W_fCRvfVXte8Jncvhm0yx_IQhLj1KhBT1-uar9n8g-W1u1ytRUgAgAyjLWPsfU2I4V-yBTbCABUP15CTF7SVLEP6aUC5kJ-xMNVwhdAqoOkdxAW/s3420/P9298949.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2570" data-original-width="3420" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqlRgvihIGWATM2w4Uh4tDUxJB3xzW_aZ_i408h9OzxvJ2UNF0obszrVyZ-Y1tDla67zse9kTBV8nw7W_fCRvfVXte8Jncvhm0yx_IQhLj1KhBT1-uar9n8g-W1u1ytRUgAgAyjLWPsfU2I4V-yBTbCABUP15CTF7SVLEP6aUC5kJ-xMNVwhdAqoOkdxAW/s320/P9298949.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1yxSnzhNY5QUNDMp3K4tq44xYPXjAWej5gp_WeMYqM8FyN8boq42yme7zAGDcwhmN6awIRZxE1TUuEz0n54tRTUN6rTWYJLZYlIrGEEs1hdCNkDq8NcSNXjTsEYo2HwzAC0jt7kUe7EA2GhNCQf95oWkGnE7Pf5g2pESRicuAY7wRSrseWThhorMLEFp/s3730/P9298953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2799" data-original-width="3730" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1yxSnzhNY5QUNDMp3K4tq44xYPXjAWej5gp_WeMYqM8FyN8boq42yme7zAGDcwhmN6awIRZxE1TUuEz0n54tRTUN6rTWYJLZYlIrGEEs1hdCNkDq8NcSNXjTsEYo2HwzAC0jt7kUe7EA2GhNCQf95oWkGnE7Pf5g2pESRicuAY7wRSrseWThhorMLEFp/s320/P9298953.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDQFW1DwiVG6zISu2NPcJb_J_dkm5kkby5AgehsByKNlyIASsSOHZIEJu7z2onjXKrbd-wXXhtZfLrJrDdHWyQrTTWOeoS4XENJXKxb2YkCw75gkU2gigETCPf4EzpDllVCDzq4XMtot72hoPKUodxbt-orqzrc713BObolzZv-W7CSGMxatjMIWgh2Iu/s3544/P9298940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2661" data-original-width="3544" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDQFW1DwiVG6zISu2NPcJb_J_dkm5kkby5AgehsByKNlyIASsSOHZIEJu7z2onjXKrbd-wXXhtZfLrJrDdHWyQrTTWOeoS4XENJXKxb2YkCw75gkU2gigETCPf4EzpDllVCDzq4XMtot72hoPKUodxbt-orqzrc713BObolzZv-W7CSGMxatjMIWgh2Iu/s320/P9298940.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><i><br /></i><p></p>GMThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08759152282751126808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912504591208429.post-15974561985408793972023-09-27T13:32:00.000-07:002023-09-27T13:32:03.469-07:00<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">St Julian's 26th September 2023</span> </h2><div>Sheila and I ran the Robinson MV overnight.

Firstly on the night of 25th September I put both traps out since the forecast of southerly winds and the number of American land birds in West Wales meant conditions for migrants looked very promising. On inspecting the contents of the traps the following mining my attention was drawn towards a small Tortrix-type moth which I could not initially identify, so I immediately took arevord shot with my phone, but unfortunately the moth escaped as I attempted to capture it. On checking it out in my moth books nothing like it could be found, the closest to it being Clepsis ruminana which is very rare in Britain with RDB1 status, and the flight-time meant it was probably too late for it, so I tweeted the record shot to our micro moth recorder Sam Bosanquet who was also flummoxed, what could it be?</p><p>I then posted on Steve Nash's Migramt Lepidoptera Facebook group as that includes some national and international expert contributers, where upon a Danish expert Knud Larsen said that it was probably Clepsis peritana which is not in the literature but other contributors concurred, there being a first UK record of the moth in Newcastle-under-Lyme on 33rd July 2023, and another record in Essex in early August, so mine could be the 3rd record in UK, and first for Wales!!</p><p>Because of this I put both traps out again last night with the unlikely expectation of trapping the specimen again - faint hope I thought but you can only try... Well! This morning the said micro moth was there in the trap and much more confiding! So now I have good photos of the first specimen of Clepsis peritana recorded in Wales.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDtokViwqtaOmg3bwlazt-EEQvJbHA50NJCHcTsPfo0U5yAofRKYKKbBaVcZdJvN3QJHsLdliy4Pc3PkfU5IsKY3lcCWFplH1wpcutVtRTC2Uia7W5fWB8rj6-j_ekgjH2yEZnbgMzelw43R4MoX5LA2usREICsImhQYrfucDiSGQGpr5KKCxOQ_Rjci0/s1336/20230926_074005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1336" data-original-width="1324" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDtokViwqtaOmg3bwlazt-EEQvJbHA50NJCHcTsPfo0U5yAofRKYKKbBaVcZdJvN3QJHsLdliy4Pc3PkfU5IsKY3lcCWFplH1wpcutVtRTC2Uia7W5fWB8rj6-j_ekgjH2yEZnbgMzelw43R4MoX5LA2usREICsImhQYrfucDiSGQGpr5KKCxOQ_Rjci0/s320/20230926_074005.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgrmtz5WmKZklKp92pBkcZEynyZEbWyhMsjV5eDG4ptIxojR4jHHn5t2sdmPvMnRoEm0n47zHTsiBjFvEXQ_gqwftfnWwKCKaJvH1oTN5xgHgqTg83u-sWzIFhE7QJZ79LnZQRJbGuYS3gD0Oc1fhrRfvDLjeHJNY84Kzan_HTwao7JKeARCBU2hLI8Ww/s1212/20230927_073536.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1212" data-original-width="889" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgrmtz5WmKZklKp92pBkcZEynyZEbWyhMsjV5eDG4ptIxojR4jHHn5t2sdmPvMnRoEm0n47zHTsiBjFvEXQ_gqwftfnWwKCKaJvH1oTN5xgHgqTg83u-sWzIFhE7QJZ79LnZQRJbGuYS3gD0Oc1fhrRfvDLjeHJNY84Kzan_HTwao7JKeARCBU2hLI8Ww/s320/20230927_073536.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI9-tKbcHQiHJQO8ZmzCxJ1pnkFt5OcgJ-rivn5HBBu5q8sA077wl3nFqiAdUxZBs2YwprhV5zXh94eB6xoRZR8H9KW5c8GPiWdjRJYgTbRSKTyp9IeN3I3AdMwep48LJNBUzNIirVwQC7DmO-xhdLskNGZYJG-hUimm1aiJdmK6Q_eJpVybq34rdeAM4/s1703/20230927_082736.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1548" data-original-width="1703" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI9-tKbcHQiHJQO8ZmzCxJ1pnkFt5OcgJ-rivn5HBBu5q8sA077wl3nFqiAdUxZBs2YwprhV5zXh94eB6xoRZR8H9KW5c8GPiWdjRJYgTbRSKTyp9IeN3I3AdMwep48LJNBUzNIirVwQC7DmO-xhdLskNGZYJG-hUimm1aiJdmK6Q_eJpVybq34rdeAM4/s320/20230927_082736.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Kevin Hewitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155165542560566208noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042912504591208429.post-60269147180721610472023-09-14T12:55:00.002-07:002023-09-14T12:55:39.484-07:00<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Goat Moth larva at Newport Wetlands NNR</span></h2><div>Steve Wilkinson found a Goat Moth larva on the Wales Coast Path at Uskmouth on 28th August.

Several were settled on the bush and held there wings differently to those in the trap, folded back along the body with the forewings projecting in front of the hind wings.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCBvc5gBZd3r-swFjwiXke02sbrxT1BDVVQh8h2Lp0iVWgy9QsJB-t2IDDe1h5XdinCy6ZtQsM0Hqa0q9wWVZQ__qP2c0GmeR_Crx0W8ZqGQda5Oj_FcVxPPaRmJMxCyHcK88bbremdRBGK88bfTzZbb-Olw2H8pD02uxAavDYzg1cpG9c8dtX4q6Sg8/s1253/20230906_141858.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1253" data-original-width="1253" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCBvc5gBZd3r-swFjwiXke02sbrxT1BDVVQh8h2Lp0iVWgy9QsJB-t2IDDe1h5XdinCy6ZtQsM0Hqa0q9wWVZQ__qP2c0GmeR_Crx0W8ZqGQda5Oj_FcVxPPaRmJMxCyHcK88bbremdRBGK88bfTzZbb-Olw2H8pD02uxAavDYzg1cpG9c8dtX4q6Sg8/s320/20230906_141858.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0ODULdFQwnZxGz1LtRC_Y3bDRlz88V_Nl3tS0rTD_tdu4CCQRREmLp8qr0t1e5ru3cshTKSkFkbwpoEfatx3MfWKDEmv-nB5fh284V_3dDB5uR6UMrHt9OvNQlCoKCdjk4ebNxseir_zZ7nuJ0EdkRYL7hWIq-gSOSATMVd_sGNYHZbjyG9lXnymuUc/s1619/20230907_221521.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1619" data-original-width="1619" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0ODULdFQwnZxGz1LtRC_Y3bDRlz88V_Nl3tS0rTD_tdu4CCQRREmLp8qr0t1e5ru3cshTKSkFkbwpoEfatx3MfWKDEmv-nB5fh284V_3dDB5uR6UMrHt9OvNQlCoKCdjk4ebNxseir_zZ7nuJ0EdkRYL7hWIq-gSOSATMVd_sGNYHZbjyG9lXnymuUc/s320/20230907_221521.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv_9HKHGDTUp9lL45qCDTfwXPfSfKCdPQpSof280NuNT8Y8LDAjOhky4-p4z_VbB7Tkd3pGXW8bjBM3IHMFohytAJHgosm5_Y1MlBSrcGoIUUmhFl1WZ6_Hy7muTeA-1Kucp9w0pBlzRcUveCIbltKS-3nxdwl7Jek4nHq5_EsPH4rIJEdYlOwTBjioGQ/s1866/20230907_222519.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1312" data-original-width="1866" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv_9HKHGDTUp9lL45qCDTfwXPfSfKCdPQpSof280NuNT8Y8LDAjOhky4-p4z_VbB7Tkd3pGXW8bjBM3IHMFohytAJHgosm5_Y1MlBSrcGoIUUmhFl1WZ6_Hy7muTeA-1Kucp9w0pBlzRcUveCIbltKS-3nxdwl7Jek4nHq5_EsPH4rIJEdYlOwTBjioGQ/s320/20230907_222519.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I ask again - are other people catching lots of Box-tree Moths?

I only found 1, in Whitson. I found none last year or the year before. Around 15 years ago I was finding up to 20 or more. The caterpillars were much smaller than I would have expected this late in May - I guess the cold early spring has delayed there hatching/development?
