0245 Tinea pallescentella |
0373 Currant Clearwing Synanthedon tipuliformis |
|
New County Record - found at Derwenlas (AT). There are few other records of this clothes moth species in north Wales. 19-11-15 |
Newtown (SCC). A 'nationally scarce B' that is probably rather overlooked due to its secretive habits. Last recorded in the county in 1978. 02-07-15 |
|
0030 Ectoedemia arcuatella |
1973 Death's Head Hawk-moth Acherontia atropos |
1068 Celypha rivulana |
New County Record - leaf mines on wild strawberry were found at Llanymynech Rocks (DK). This 'nationally scarce A' species is associated with calcareous soils and is new to north Wales. 05-09-15 |
This impressive migrant species was found on a patio by day in Pont Robert (JJK). A rare visitor to the county, with the last county record from 2010. 30-08-15 |
New County Record - a individual came to MV light at an MMG event at Lake Glaslyn, a moorland reserve. Confirmed by dissection (DBo). 19-08-15 |
2080 Square-spot Dart Euxoa obelisca |
0889a Mompha bradleyi |
0252 Ochsenheimeria urella |
New County Record - an individual was caught at Middletown and checked by dissection (DBo). Other county records dating back to 2009, previously attributed to White-line Dart, Euxoa tritici, are now also thought to belong to this species. Square-spot Dart is a 'Nationally Scarce B' species said to be usually found on rocky coastlines, something likely to have contributed to the confusion in the recent records. 19-08-15 |
New County Record - one came to light at Middletown and was confirmed by gen det (DBo). 19-08-15 |
Found by day at Middletown and was confirmed by dissetion (DBo). 19-08-15 |
2373 Webb's Wainscot Globia sparganii |
2115 Rosy Marsh Moth Coenophila subrosea |
1205a Spilonota laricana |
New County Record - one came to an MV trap at Cors Dyfi reserve (DBo & PRW). A 'nationally scarce B' species found in reedbeds. This is only the second record for all of north Wales. 17-08-15 |
Two came to MV traps at Cors Dyfi (DBo & PRW). This 'red data book' species is probably the rarest moth on the county list. It was last recorded in 2011 (at the same site). It is yet to be established if the species is breeding within VC47. 17-08-15 |
New County Record - two came to light at Hafren Forest (DBo). A species which was formerly considered to be merely a form of Spilonota ocellana and can be difficult to separate. This species is associated with larch. 12-08-15 |
2082 Garden Dart Euxoa nigricans |
1804 Barred Rivulet Perizoma bifaciata |
0583 Coleophora tamesis |
One came to MV light in Middletown and was confirmed by gen det (DBo). A species reported to have suffered large declines across the UK in recent times and this was the first time it has been seen in the county since 1996. 02-08-15 |
Recorded at Derwenlas (AT). This fairly local species is associated with red bartsia. The first county record since 1976. 29-07-15 |
New County Record - one came to light at Middletown and was identified by dissection (DBo). 21-07-15 |
0636 Denisia similella |
0256 Leucoptera spartifoliella |
0724 Metzneria lappella |
New County Record - recorded at Lake Vyrnwy (GBC). A nationally scarce B species that feeds on fungi growing on dead wood. 15-07-15 |
An individual was found flying around broom by day and confirmed by dissection (DBo). Middletown. The first county record for over 30 years. 17-07-15 |
New County Record - one came to light at Middletown and was checked via dissection (DBo). The larvae live within teasel seed heads. 07-07-15 |
0225 Triaxomera fulvimitrella |
1494 Capperia britanniodactylus |
0072 Stigmella myrtillella |
One to light at Llandinam Gravels (DBo), a tineid species feeding on bracket fungus. 01-07-15 |
New County Record - this 'nationally scarce B' plume species feeds on wood sage and is an uncommon moth in the region. Came to light at Llandinam Gravels (DBo). 01-07-15 |
New County Record - Two came to light during a very warm night at Glaslyn and were checked by dissection (DBo). This leaf-miner feeds on bilberry, occuring on moorland sites and as a result is likely to be very overlooked. 30-06-15 |
0577 Coleophora artemisicolella |
0309 Parornix torquillella |
0601 Elachista albifrontella |
New County Record - Came to light at Middletown and identified by dissection (DBo). There are very few records of this species - which is associated with mugwort - in north Wales. 29-06-15 |
New County Record - One came to light at Middletown and was identified via genitalia (DBo). 29-06-15 |
One recorded at Roundton Hill (DGG) during an MMG event. The first county record in recent years. 27-06-15 |
1840 Shaded Pug Eupithecia subumbrata |
0175 Narycia duplicella |
2204 Obscure Wainscot Leucania obsoleta |
New County Record - a single male was caught in Middletown and confirmed by dissection (DBo). This appears to be rather an isolated record, with the nearest known populations on the Welsh coast. 29-06-15 |
New County Record - an individual came to actinic light in Middletown (DBo). The larvae feed on lichen in portable cases. This is only the second record for north Wales. 29-06-15 |
New County Record - a worn individual came to light at Derwenlas (AT). It was recorded a week later at Montgomery (JH). These, and other north Wales records, might suggest this species is becoming more common in the region. 20-06-15 |
2403 Bordered Straw Heliothis peltigera |
0794 Prolita sexpunctella |
0012 Eriocrania sangii |
New County Record - an individual came to light near Newtown (PE). It was recorded during a spell of migrant activity, when a large influx of the species had been reported across the UK. 24-06-15 |
New County Record - This heather feeding species was recorded at Lake Vyrnwy (GBC). This in the first record for north Wales in recent years. 11-06-15 |
New County Record - one came to light during an MMG event in the Hafren Forest (PRW et al). This is one of a number of closely related species which have larvae that mine birch leaves. This individual, a male, was identified by dissection (DBo). 18-04-15 |
