Brown really useful to give some indication of the status of macro moths in this area. It was published in 2006 but is well worth a look. If you would like to e-mail me at ajnewbold88@gmail.com I would be very happy to send you my species lists for Sibford with the numbers of individuals caught. I have been trapping fairly frequently for a couple of years now and I'm probably starting to get a reasonable list of what is around. I am only about 4 miles from Hook Norton.Andy Newboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423367322188911753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-27260552196271214142017-07-20T21:07:38.218+01:002017-07-20T21:07:38.218+01:00Oned of the more uncommon ones is Dark-barred Twin...Oned of the more uncommon ones is Dark-barred Twin-spot Carpet (and requires dissection these days) and I think yours is a Red Twin-spot Carpet and is far more abundant in this area.Peter Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828069795222628270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-50865558095709908272017-07-20T20:48:59.918+01:002017-07-20T20:48:59.918+01:00Hello Terry, when Butterfly Conservation's for...Hello Terry, when Butterfly Conservation's forthcoming Atlas is published in a couple of years, you'll have a much better idea of what is expected locally and what is rare so far as macro-moths are concerned, but I appreciate that's not a great deal of help to you right now! The latest (third) edition of the Waring, Townsend & Lewington Field Guide does have small distribution maps which, when interpreted alongside the text, will give you a good idea of what is common, what is rare and what simply isn't found at all in our area. For micro-moths you might find of use a document which Martin Harvey produced recently for Berkshire. I appreciate that you're in north Oxfordshire but remember that we record moths by vice-counties and the Berkshire vice-county uses the old county boundary (the Thames) which goes as far north as Oxford itself, so not as far away as you might think. Go to:<br /><br />https://sites.google.com/site/berksmoths/Home/resource_list<br /><br />then click on the top document ("Micro-moth verification guidelines for print"). Martin has included the number of records for each species which will give you a clue as to how common or rare each one may be.Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.com
