A NEW WEBSITE!

As of March 2015, an official website for Surrey Moths has been set-up here. There you'll find information on everything to do with the Surrey Branch of Butterfly Conservation, including the updated events calender for 2015. Hope to see you there!

I'm Back!

Apologise for the lack of posting, I came back from holiday about a week ago but have been catching up on things since, and as a result have only managed two trapping sessions this August, on the 15th and 16th.

Year ticks have been relatively slow and steady, with 6 all together over the two day period, bring my garden year list up to 170.

Highlights over the two trapping sessions have included...

Cypress Pug- Year tick, and the 2nd garden record...


Tree-lichen Beauty- My 4th garden record this year was caught on the 16th. This immigrant has, up until recently, been an extremely rare occurance in Britain, but this year seems a particularly good year for the species...


Vine's Rustic- 1st record for the garden caught on the 15th...


Gold Spot- Another 1st for the garden, caught on the 15th, and one of the more stunning moths to pass through the garden...


Cheers,
Bill D
