-1377- Anania lancealis (48215113211)

Field Trip - Bramfield Woods - 25/06/19

A belated catch-up post from a field trip last month.

A couple of days after the bumper Bramfield Park Woods sesskion, we found ourselves over the other side of the road in Bramfield Woods. The day had been warm, but not the heat that was expected and upon arriving at the site, it was windy and there was drizzle in the air which as the night went on turned into bouts of dense mist. With that wind brought a coolness to the night and this really did keep numbers and species down for this usually prolific time of year.

Despite the awful conditions, we kept the lights running until around midnight and then packed up.

There were several site listers that we managed to find.

Dark Spectacle, Sallow Kitten, Buff Arches, Anania lancealis, Piniphila bifasciana, Spilonota laricana, Cydia nigricana and Triaxomera parasitella were all new.

Here is the total list.

Macro Moths : 77 species Micro Moths : 51 species
