This year I have a new project trapping in a chalk pit at Heydon which is in Cambridgeshire politically but in North Essex vice county for biological records. I made my first visit on 11/04. It seemed pretty disappointing at the time with only 33 moths of 17 species - but when I got home I was pleasantly surprised to find that a tortrix I couldn't identify on site was 49.262 Phaneta pauperana - the 7th Essex record and the first since 2004.
49.262 Phaneta pauperana; 11/04/2024/ Heydon
1759 species presented
| At the April meeting of the Essex Moth Group verification panel I accepted the task of documenting the evidence for the 12 species new to Essex in 2023. The resulting paper is available to download here: |
