Thursday 30th March 2006 Garden Newington Ramsgate

Night of 29th March 2006 to Light 125MV Still rubbish! 2 Clouded Drabs and an Emmelina Monodactyla in the 2 traps. That's it! (Phil M)

Thursday 30th March 2006 Kingsgate & Pegwell Traps

Night of 29th March 2006 to Light 125MV

Small numbers of the usual suspects in the Moth traps - Common Quaker, Small Quaker, Hebrew Character, Clouded Drab and Early Grey. Of slightly more interest from a Thanet perspective were single Twin-spotted Quaker and Grey Shoulder-knot. Of more interest was the recent emergence of a couple of micros from leaf mines collected in the autumn - Phyllonorycter kleemannella and Phyllonorycter heegeriella - both very attractive - particularly the latter. (F Solly)

Saturday 25th March 2006 Garden Newington Ramsgate

Night of 24th March 2006 to 125MV light Traps at last 'some' moths! The first since mid February too, which must be some sort of a bad record? The vast catch included: 1 Clouded Drab, 1 Common Quaker, 1 Dark Chestnut, 1 Double-striped Pug, 1 Emmelina Monodactyla plus a flighty micro which escaped identification which I would say was one of the Agonopterix sp. From what I saw of it as it whisked away on the stiff breeze? (Phil M)
