St Julian's, Newport 27th July 2022

Sheila Dupe ran her Robinson MV trap overnight in her garden. In the morning she recorded 67 species. The high-light was a Bedstraw Hawkmoth, possibly only the 6th for the county. There were an amazing 17 Jersey Tiger Moths. Other moths of interest were a Vestal, a Lychnis, 4 Silver-Y, 2 Black Arches and 3 Elephant Hawkmoths.

    Yes - a real jaw-dropper that Bedstraw Hawk-moth I was lucky enough to trap one of those in 2019 and it really did get my heart racing...
