2 Rannoch Looper last night, 1 the previous night.

A Rannoch Looper made it to Mangotsfield, Bristol last night.

Male & female Rannoch Looper this am - that's it, now the women are arriving colonisation looks imminent !

Hi - Had 3 Rannoch loopers in my Rayleigh garden last night to Robinson trap with 125W MV. First time I've seen this moth. The first one was dead next to the trap - probably mauled by one or other of our cats! Thankfully there were two more in pristine condition inside the trap. Amazing considering I live the wrong side of Southend-on-Sea (ie to the west of the town)and rarely get much in the way of interesting migrants or wanderers from south of the Thames. Are these from the Continent or offspring of those moths that landed in Kent and Sussex last year?

17 Rannoch Loopers in garden last night plus another 33 in local woodland between 20.45 and 22.15, all male.

I was quite pleased with my two (male)Rannoch Loopers last night (now four since Saturday morning), but compared to some sites in Kent, these are but an egg box full!

Nine Rannoch Loopers last night (can't compete with Sissinghurst!).

Another 18 Rannock Loopers here at Wadhurst last night.

57 Rannoch Loopers last night - 6 June. Most common moth in trap. Per Alan Pavey.

3 weeks late but of possible interest... Red-necked Footman at light on 15 May 2011. Precedes the Portland record by nearly 3 weeks.
