Moths in the Garden
Search for a moth using latin name, common name or part of a name and click "Go" or select a moth from the dropdown list to find out when and how the species was caught in the garden. If a moth has an "*" following its name in the list, an image
will be displayed when the moth is selected. Records of 2004 are all of moths
caught at a lighted window as we did not have a moth trap at the time. Total number of species
caught and identified so far:
189. If you notice any
identification errors, please
.
Of particular interest are the records for
Maple Prominent which is found only at a handful of sites in South Lincolnshire,
Great Oak Beauty (the first record for Lincolnshire - determined for me by Colin
Smith who is the current Lincolnshire County Recorder) and Marasmarcha lunaedactyla - also the first record for Lincolnshire and determined for me by Colin.
Privet Hawk-moth
