Mothing - 7th July 2008

Well last night was very warm for the time of year. It didn't get any lower than 12° C which is warmer than most of our daytime temperatures have been of late. Six species came to the light trap.


The first two I have posted photos for previously. They are:

Uresiphita ornithopteralis (Tree Lucerne Moth)
Paralaea porphyrinaria

The other four are shown below:

Gastrina cristaria - FW 16mm


Idiodes apicata (A very variable moth) - FW 21mm


Unknown Geometrid - FW 13 mm


Unknown - Probably a Geometrid - FW 19mm

    Thanks JL. There are lots of moth pics on my two web sites (see top of side bar). There are also lots of broken links etc as I'm currently rebuilding the moth site. Most of our Tasmanian moths would be found in Victoria as well.

    Thanks Warren - I lived 8 years in the UK (Scottish Highlands) so I enjoy looking at a few British wildlife blogs/sites.

    I'll put a reciprocal link to you on my blog.
