Night of 8th June, 2 x Dark Sword Grass, 2 x Silver Y and a Diamond Back....but no Rannoch Loopers!

Still 7 Rannoch Loopers at the Castle last night (8/6) - per Alan Pavey.

On 6th June I trapped a male Rannoch Looper at a site850 ft above sea-level where Wilts and Somerset adjoin with 125MV on border

One Rannock looper caught on 6 June

Only two Rannoch Loopers last night in garden, both males.

Double Line to 125w MV at Danny Arnold's constant effort site at Upper Rochford, Worcs on the night of the 5th June, is a VC37 first and a potential migrant

Rannoch Loopers
Although no Loopers have struggled this far north, the Dorset ones are fully reported on the Dorset Moths website. It is of interest that where the sex of the moths has been stated, in all but one case they are males. Is this reflected in the rest that have not been sexed? It would be interesting to know.

4 Rannoch Looper in back garden traps (2 x 125 MV's) last one - one the night prior too.

ANOTHER MALE RANNOCH LOOPER TO 22 WATT ACTINIC, IN MY EASTBOURNE GARDEN ON THE EVENING OF 6TH JUNE.

A single Dark Sword-grass
