Eakring Moths 2012
A summary of the year
 
  Unfortunately, there was again very little moth trapping conducted at Eakring in 2012, but it was pleasing to see that many moths are continuing to do well. Black Arches remains well established after appearing here a few years ago and there were welcome records of Yellow-barred Brindle and Maiden's Blush.

We actually only ended up doing two trapping sessions in the area this year. Both were in August, but the poor Spring weather was most certainly the reason why so many species had such a poor year in 2012 and the wet conditions may well affect numbers of all species for another couple of years.

Of the more notable micros, the Pyralid Orthopygia glaucinalis was a nice find on both trapping dates, but other nice records were two Calamotropha paludella on August 18th (obviously well established at Eakring Flash now) and a rare record of Blastodacna hellerella.
....
Both Buff and Scarce Footman, White Satin were trapped and two Old Lady eventually came down to the MV light on August 18th. Although Old Lady is probably quite common here, it is without doubt considerably under-recorded with very few records. 2012 was an excellent year for migrant Silver Y's, but unfortunately the lack of site visits did not reflect the numbers recorded from our own garden and at other sites visited during the day.
