Review of 2019 and 2020 - Moths: Poplar and Pine Cosmets (Batrachedridae) and Case-bearers (Coleophoridae) (Part 1)

POPLAR & PINE COSMETS (BATRACHEDRIDAE)


Poplar Cosmet Batrachedra praeangusta - 2 in my garden trap on 23rd July 2019 and one on 29th July 2020.  Also one at Swanton Great Wood on 27th August 2019.  I had never seen this species until 2018 when I recorded 3 at home and one elsewhere - is this species suddenly increasing, or has it just enjoyed a couple of good years, or is it just coincidence?

Pine Cosmet Batrachedra pinicolella - One in the garden on 24th June 2020.  This species has seen a massive upsurge in records in recent years starting with one at my old house in 2013, the first county record for 129 years!  I caught them here in North Elmham in 2015, 2016 and 3 times in 2017 but although records across the county continued to increase I then had a couple of blank years in 2018-19.

CASE-BEARERS (COLEOPHORIDAE)

4 new species for the garden in 2019 (including one that was completely new for me) and another completely new one in 2020 brought my garden Coleophora list up to 43.


Silver-streaked Case-bearer Coleophora limoniella - None in 2019 but 20 swept from a single Sea Lavendar plant at Brancaster on 2nd July 2020.  One at home in 2018 was quite unexpected given that this saltmarsh species hadn't turned up inland in Norfolk prior to that year.  I don't expect a repeat anytime soon.


Common Oak Case-bearer Coleophora lutipennella - 3 in my garden trap between 10th and 22nd July 2019, a slightly below average year for this species, and then 4 between 29th June and 6th August 2020.  Also 3 at the meadows (26th July 2019 and 18th July and 7th August 2020) and one at Bintree Wood.  These are always dissected to confirm ID - I'm yet to find any features that are even indicative of this species rather than the similarly common flavipennella.

male Common Oak Case-bearer Coleophora lutipennella, North Elmham, 29th June 2020

female Common Oak Case-bearer Coleophora lutipennella, North Elmham, 6th August 2020

Rose Case-bearer Coleophora gryphipennella - None.  I've only had one of these here (and anywhere) so far, in 2018.


Tipped Oak Case-bearer Coleophora flavipennella - One at the meadows on 7th July 2019 followed by 5 in the garden trap between 8th and 22nd July and then another 5 in 2020, between 16th June and 7th July.  Fairly typical years for this species which seems to be a little bit commoner than lutipennella (from which separation requires gen detting).

Buff Birch Case-bearer Coleophora milvipennis - None.  I've had just one record of this species here, in 2016.  It's tricky species to identify even with reference to the genitalia - my 2016 record required input from an international expert to confirm.


Pale Elm Case-bearer Coleophora badiipennella - None.  I've only had one of these here too, in 2015.


Dark Elm Case-bearer Coleophora limosipennella - None.  One of the more widespread and well-recorded Coleophora that I've not yet recorded.


Blackthorn Case-bearer Coleophora coracipennella - A female caught here on 23rd July 2019, my second record following one in 2017.  None in 2020.  Described as rare, although there have been a few recent records so I suspect it's more a case of being under-recorded.

female Blackthorn Case-bearer Coleophora coracipennella, North Elmham, 23rd July 2019

Common Case-bearer Coleophora serratella - Adults trapped at home on 23rd July 2019 and 26th and 31st July 2020.  Cases found at the meadows on Downy Birch on 26th April 2019 and Rough Chervil on 3rd June 2020, the latter causing me an ID challenge as Rough Chervil doesn't have any Coleophora listed as occurring on it, but thanks to Keith and Rob who pointed out that some Coleophora (especially this one) wander from their foodplants in order to pupate.  Although this is supposed to be the commonest of all the Coleophora I didn't find my first until 2018 (when I caught 4, including 3 here).

Apple & Plum Case-bearer Coleophora spinella - 4 trapped at home between 12th and 23rd July 2019 and 3 between 3rd and 17th July 2020.  4 is the most I've had here in a year - 2 is more typical.  Also a case that I think was probably this species on Hawthorn at the meadows on 15th May 2019.

male Apple & Plum Case-bearer Coleophora spinella, North Elmham Cathedral Meadows, 13th July 2020

Scarce Thorn Case-bearer Coleophora trigeminella - None.  I had 2 here on one night in 2017, the year I recorded Norfolk's second, third, fourth and fifth records of this species.  There have been others since so a repeat wouldn't be altogether unexpected.


Osier Case-bearer Coleophora lusciniaepennella - One caught at home on 23rd June 2019 and one at Weybourne on 5th July.  None in 2020.  I've had 3 previous records here (2015 and 2017).

female Osier Case-bearer Coleophora lusciniaepennella, Weybourne, 5th July 2019

Violet Case-bearer Coleophora violacea - None.  Although there aren't large numbers of records of this species it must be fairly high up on the list of next most likely candidates to be added to my Coleophora list.


Shaded Case-bearer Coleophora potentillae - None.  Another one that I haven't seen yet but must have a good chance of cropping up here.  So far the nearest I've got is seeing its feeding signs.

More Poplar Cosmets and an early Butterbur

One of the new moths I saw in the Waveney Valley on 10th July was Poplar Cosmet Batrachedra praeangusta.  I didn't expect to get my next record of this species quite so quickly, but in my garden trap the following night, 11th July, there were not only one but two Poplar Cosmets Batrachedra praeangusta!

There were a number of other new moths for the garden year-list that night, mostly micros: Small Red Slender Caloptilia rufipennella (only my second here although I've seen a few elsewhere), Common Oak Case-bearer Coleophora lutipennella, Dingy Dowd Blastobasis adustella, Knapweed Conch Agapeta zoegana, Cereal Tortrix Cnephasia pumicana, Smoky-barred Marble Lobesia abscisana, Broad-barred Knot-horn Acrobasis consociella (just about annual here with single records in 2015, 2016 and 2017) and Campion.

Other insects included the mayfly Pale Evening Dun Procloeon bifidum, a Common Earwig, the green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea,the caddisflies 2 Hydropsyche siltalai and Leptocerus tineiformis, and the beetles Nicrophorus investigator, Black Sexton Beetle and Common Red Soldier Beetle Rhagonycha fulva.

What may well have been a Pale Birch Pigmy Stigmella confusella would have been a new moth and the highlight of the garden moth trap on 12th July, except that I am currently unable to confirm the ID.  I do not have any reference material to compare the genitalia to (there are no pictures of the species' female genitalia on the Dissection Group website) but there is comparative reference material for most of the other feasible similar-looking Stigmella, and their genitalia doesn't match my moth's bits.  However, these are tricky and I don't think it would be safe to call this one just at the moment.

Quite a few of the relatively small number of county records of Butterbur are undated, but of those that are dated the earliest is 20th July.  So a Butterbur here on 12th July was quite a surprise.  I had 3 Butterburs in the garden trap in 2016, the only ones I've ever seen before, and was to go on and see 3 again in 2018.

Butterbur, North Elmham, 12th July

There were a few other new moths for the year: Hawthorn Slender Parornix anglicella, Pointed Slender Parornix finitimella, Horse-Chestnut Leaf-miner Cameraria ohridella, Garden Lance-wing Epermenia chaerophyllella, Summer Rose Bell Notocelia roborana, Nutmeg and 2 Slender Brindles, .  The finitimella was only my third, following singles here in each of the previous two years.  The chearophyllella was only my fourth here too, though I've had more of them elsewhere.

The only bug in the trap was a new species for me, Trigonotylus caelestialium.  Although Trigonotylus is a distinctive genus there are two very similar species; this one is distinguished by the very distinct red stripe through the 1st antennal segment (diffuse in T ruficornis).

Trigonotylus caelestialium, North Elmham, 12th July

Other insects included the green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea, the caddisfly Limnephilus marmoratus, 2 Common Red Soldier Beetles Rhagonycha fulvas, 4 Lagria hirta and my first garden Hornet of the year.

The next day there was a Large White in the garden and a Common Wasp came to the Red-belted Clearwing lure.

There were far fewer moths that night with just 55 species.  These included two new for the year: Garden Rose Tortrix Acleris variegana and Rosy Rustic.

Next day there was a Comma in the garden and a Dark Groundling Bryotropha affinis inside the house.  That evening was very poor for moths with just Orange Crest Helcystogramma rufescens, Garden Grass-veneer Chrysoteuchia culmella, 4 Scalloped Oaks, Willow Beauty, 3 Common Footmen, Buff Ermine, 2 Smoky Wainscots, 3 Uncertains and 3 Rustics.
