Review of 2019 and 2020 - Moths: Geometers (Geometridae) - part 9: Magpies and Peacocks etc. (Abraxas to Pseudopanthera)

GEOMETERS (GEOMETRIDAE) (continued)


Magpie Moth Abraxas grossulariata - 4 singles in the garden between 3rd and 9th August 2019.  This was my poorest year since moving here - I'd averaged about 15 a year between 2015 and 2018.  But if 4 was bad then it was crash and burn in 2020 with none at all.

Magpie Moth, North Elmham, 5th August 2019



Clouded Magpie Abraxas sylvata - None.  I've had 3 here previously (2016 and 2018).


Clouded Border Lomaspilis marginata - 62 in the garden trap between 19th May and 19th August 2019 and 48 between 21st May and 12th August 2020.  I average over 70 a year and these were my worst years here so far.  Elsewhere 16 at the meadows, one at Bintree Wood, 8 in Hellesdon, one at Hills and Holes, 4 at Weybourne and 6 at various sites on Mull.

Clouded Border, North Elmham, 1st June 2020



Scorched Carpet Ligdia adustata - 6 at home between 7th June and 4th September 2019 (the last being my latest ever) and 9 between 8th May and 9th August 2020.  Numbers here have varied from zero to 13 a year but average just over 6.  Elsewhere one next door, one at the meadows and one at Sculthorpe Moor (the latter on the earlier date of 26th April 2019).

Scorched Carpet, North Elmham, 8th May 2020



Peacock Moth Macaria notata - None in 2019 but the first for my garden appeared in my trap on 23rd May 2020.  Prior to 2020 there were very few records of this species in mid Norfolk but there were several from a range of locations in 2020.



female Peacock Moth, North Elmham, 23rd May 2020 - the exquisite piece of engineering in the bottom photo is the signa in the corpus bursa (I don't think this spiky scleretised plate is helpful for the ID but it's so fantastic I thought it was worth sharing!)



Sharp-angled Peacock Macaria alternata - None.  I've never seen this species locally and there are only a handful of records in mid Norfolk.  Enough though, perhaps, to think it might turn up here one day.


Tawny-barred Angle Macaria liturata - Singles caught in the garden on 1st June 2019 and 26th June and 20th August 2020.  I had 2 here in June 2018 but they were my first garden records since one on the very first night I trapped here after moving in in August 2014.  Elsewhere 3 at Swanton Great Wood on 27th August 2019 and 2 at Hills and Holes on 21st May 2020.

Tawny-barred Angle, North Elmham, 26th June 2020



Latticed Heath Chiasmia clathrata - I believe 2019 was a good year for this species (either migrants or locally-bred moths, or both, I'm not sure) but none made it to my garden trap, however 2020 was another good year and I caught 3 here between 14th July and 8th September.  Blank years aren't unusual here - I've only caught them before in 2015 (once) and in 2018 (4 times), both good years across the county, although not as good as 2019).  Elsewhere singles at the meadows in both 2019 and 2020 and at Hills and Holes and Whitwell Street in 2020.

Brown Silver-line Petrophora chlorosata - Singles in the garden moth trap on 24th and 30th June 2019 and 7th and 26th June 2020.  Four a year is more typical here.  Elsewhere 22 at Bintree Wood, 6 at Hills and Holes, 2 in Keswick and 3 on Mull.

Brown Silver-line, North Elmham, 7th June 2020


Brown Silver-line, Bintree Wood, 13th June 2020



Barred Umber Plagodis pulveraria - None.  I've never seen this species and don't really expect it to turn up here, it being a rare woodland species.  But it does occur in woodlands not all that far from here so there must be a fair chance of finding it somewhere near here, perhaps in Bintree Wood?


Scorched Wing Plagodis dolabraria - My worst years so far here with just 6 singles between 2nd June and 7th July 2019 and then only one in 2020, on 27th May.  I've had up to up to 33 in a year (2016) and was averaging 19 a year from 2015 to 2018.  Elsewhere singles at the meadows on 25th and 31st May 2019 and 23rd June 2020, 3 at Bintree Wood and one at Hills and Holes.

Horse Chestnut Pachycnemia hippocastanaria - 2 in NW Spain between Sant Vicenc and Torrelles de Llobregat on 23rd February 2020, the first time I've seen this species which doesn't occur in Norfolk.


Horse Chestnuts, between Saint Vincenc and Torrelles de Llobregat (Spain), 23rd February 2020



Brimstone Moth Opisthograptis luteolata - Totals of 119 trapped at home between 5th May and 3rd October 2019 and 141 between 8th May and 19th September 2020.  On average I catch around 190 a year and these were my lowest annual totals so far.  Elsewhere caught next door on 3 nights, at the meadows on 14 nights (total 27), at Swanton Great Wood, Hellesdon, Whitwell Street, Hills and Holes, Brancaster, Weybourne, Row Heath (West Runton) and in Cornwall and on Mull.

Brimstone Moth, North Elmham, 18th July 2018



Bordered Beauty Epione repandaria -7 in the garden between 20th July and 18th August 2019 and then singles on 29th July and 8th August 2020.  It took me a long time to catch my first of these (2 here in 2016) but after 4 more at different sites in 2017-18 I then caught 7 in the garden in 2018 and now another 7 in 2019.  For such a beautiful moth this increase was welcome - let's hope that 2020's return to lower numbers is temporary.

Bordered Beauty, North Elmham, 21st July 2019


Bordered Beauty, North Elmham, 8th August 2020



Speckled Yellow Pseudopanthera macularia - One west of Tiroran on Mull on 10th June 2019.  In Norfolk this day-flying species is restricted to the Brecks - I last saw it here way back in 1991.



Speckled Yellow, west of Tiroran (Mull), 10th June 2019



Orange Moth Angerona prunaria - None.  I've never seen an Orange Moth but although they're pretty rare in Norfolk the few records there have been are pretty widespread across the county, so surely I must have as much chance as anyone of catching one...?

Clouded and unclouded Magpies

The macro moths were the highlights on 31st July with my third ever (but second this year) Dark Spinach and a Clouded Magpie which was only my third here in 4 years.  Dusky Thorn was also new for the year.

Other things included the mayfly Blue-winged Olive Serratella ignita, a Common Earwig, the brown lacewings Hemerobius lutescens and 2 Micromus variegatus, the caddisflies 2 Hydropsyche siltalai and Molanna angustata, the mirid bug Psallus varians, the leafhopper Balclutha punctata and a Hornet.

While setting a bat detector at the Cathedral Meadows at dusk on 1st August I found a Straw Grass-veneer Agriphila straminella and a leafhopper that I didn't immediately recognise. It turned out to be a new species for me, Macropsis scotti.

Macropsis scotti, North Elmham Cathedral Meadows, 1st August


That night there were 5 new moths for the year: Winter Groundling Scrobipalpa costella (only my second here), Marbled Mompha Mompha propinquella, Rhomboid Tortrix Acleris rhombana, Cabbage Moth and Angle Shades. The rhombana was my earliest ever by 12 days.

Angle Shades, North Elmham, 1st August


A record count of  5 Small Purple & Golds Pyrausta aurata was remarkable for here.  I only caught 5 singles across the whole of the previous 3 summers but either it is a good year for them or else they have taken a liking to the mint we planted in the garden a couple of years ago.  Although I eventually recorded 11 in the garden this summer they were only recorded on 5 nights spread over a period of just over a month.

5 Turnip Moths was also a record count, but in this case it was definitely a case of it being a good year for them as I know a lot of other moth-ers recorded exceptional numbers this year (much higher numbers than me in many cases).  I don't usually get many (only two last year and three the year before) but this year I'm looking like I will end up with a total of around 50 (I'm not sure the exact number yet as I have 2-3 slightly equivocal ones in pots waiting to be confirmed).  I know many people get more than that in a normal year and were getting 3-figure counts in a single night this year.

Other moths were Hawthorn Slender Parornix anglicella, Horse-Chestnut Leaf-miner Cameraria ohridella, Woundwort Case-bearer Coleophora lineolea, 2 Long-horned Flat-bodies Carcina quercana, Orange Crest Helcystogramma rufescens, 3 Dingy Dowds Blastobasis adustella, Little Mompha Mompha raschkiella, 4 Dark Fruit-tree Tortrixes Pandemis heparana, Light Brown Apple-moth Epiphyas postvittana, Garden Rose Tortrix Acleris variegana, Barred Marble Celypha striana, Common Marble Celypha lacunana, Pine Marble Piniphila bifasciana, Holly Tortrix Rhopobota naevana, Hoary Bell Eucosma cana, 2 Marbled Piercers Cydia splendana, Garden Grass-veneer Chrysoteuchia culmella, 41 Straw Grass-veneers Agriphila straminella, 10 Common Grass-veneers Agriphila tristella, 2 Garden Pebbles Evergestis forficalis, 2 Pale Straw Pearls Udea lutealis, 9 Mother of Pearls Pleuroptya ruralis, 2 Grey Knot-horns Acrobasis advenella, Beautiful Plume Amblyptilia acanthadactyla, 2 Common Plumes Emmelina monodactyla, Pebble Hook-tip, Maiden's Blush, Blood-vein, Small Dusty Wave, 5 Single-dotted Waves, Riband Wave, 7 Red Twin-spot Carpets, Dark-barred Twin-spot Carpet, Garden Carpet, Purple Bar, Small Rivulet, Currant Pug, Magpie Moth, Scorched Carpet, Bordered Beauty, Scalloped Oak, 3 Willow Beauties, 4 Dingy Footmen, 2 Common Footmen, Shuttle-shaped Dart, 3 Flames, 7 Flame Shoulders, Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, 3 Setaceous Hebrew Characters, 2 Common Wainscots, Copper Underwing, 2 Dun-bars, Cloaked Minor, Common Rustic, Small Rufous, Vine's Rustic, 3 Silver Ys and 5 Straw Dots.

Other things included the mayflies Green Drake Ephemera danica and 6 Blue-winged Olives Serratella ignita, the green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea agg., 2 brown lacewings Micromus variegatus, the caddisflies 2 Hydropsyche siltalai, Crunoecia irrorata and Athripsodes aterrimus, Birch Shieldbug, the leafhopper Balclutha punctata again, the beetles Amara apricaria and Aphodius rufipes, Hornet and Common Wasp.

Melanic Magpie Moth

Firstly an update on my earlier post for 19th July - I have now amended this to reflect a re-identification of the moth I thought was probably Coleophora badiipennella.  I checked it with Jon Clifton who in turn checked it with Finnish expert Jukka Tabell and the answer is Buff Birch Case-bearer Coleophora milvipennis, a new species for me.

So on to 31st July when nearly 300 moths of 87 species included no species of huge significance.  The most exciting moth was the last one I found, after I had finished emptying the moth trap I found it clinging to the outside of it.  It was an extraordinary-looking thing and despite being quite unlike any I've ever seen it was immediately recognisable as a Magpie Moth, but presumably a melanic aberration.

Magpie Moth (melanic form), North Elmham, 31st July


Only Spruce Bud Moth Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana was new for the year, and that being so worn I would never have confidently identified it without first dissecting it.

Pigmy Footmen

On 30th July there was a Norfolk Moth Survey event at Queen's Hill (Costessey).  Normally I like to go to these events if I'm free, but on this occasion I had a competing offer.  Rob Lee was going to Winterton with Tim Hodge (and, as it turned out, Ryan Irvine) and that sounded like a better idea.  In the end I think I made the right decision as Queen's Hill didn't produce a huge amount, but then again Winterton was quite disappointing too.  Not all bad though, and the highlight for me was 3 Pigmy Footmen, a new species for me.



Pigmy Footmen, Winterton, 30th July (top two pics are the same individual)


Other highlights included Painted Neb Eulamprotes wilkella, around 80 Long-legged Tabbies Synaphe punctalis and 3 Chevrons.  Heathland species that I don't see all that often included 2 Dusky Groundlings Aroga velocella, Heather Knot-horn Pempelia palumbella, 2 Narrow-winged Pugs, White-line Dart, 3 Archer's Darts and 12 True Lover's Knots.
