Larger moths

Many species of moths have been located in the village, mostly through regular light-trapping in a garden. Using light traps elsewhere in the parish, especially in the woods, would certainly add more species to this list.

Hepialidae

Orange Swift (Triodia sylvina) - late summer

Common Swift (Korscheltellus lupulinus) - late spring/early summer

Gold Swift (Phymatopus hecta) - large numbers found in a clearing in Shotesham Great Wood during a Woodcock survey in 2003 - have not been back to check if still there. Also noted at dusk on the common in 2008, but not since. 

Ghost Moth (Hepialus humuli) - used to be occasional in the trap but seems to have vanished, no records since 2015

Cossidae

Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina) - occasional mid-summer

Sesiidae

[No clearwing moths have yet been detected but several will be present - most readily detected using pheromones lures]

Zygaenidae

The Forester (Adscita statices) - a significant record of one on the common in 2019; this is a rather local species and very rare in SE Norfolk. 

Six-spot Burnet (Zygaena filipendulae) - noted on Stubbs Green in 2014 only; still here?

Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet (Zygaena lonicerae) - present on the common and Stubbs Green (strictly speaking, could be the similar Five-spot Burnet, but in Norfolk that is thought to be more strictly coastal).

Drepanidae

Chinese Character (Cilix glaucata) - common at light but never detected otherwise, probably due to superb camouflage

Pebble Hook-tip (Drepana falcataria) - regular at light

Scalloped Hook-tip (Falcaria lacertinaria) - one found during a rare trapping session actually on the common, but has never been seen in the garden just over the road, so seemingly very loathe to wander

Buff Arches (Habrosyne pyritoides) - regular

Frosted Green (Polyploca ridens) - a regular spring species, small numbers found mostly in late April

Figure of Eighty (Tethea ocularis) - scarce at light, averaging about one record every other year

Peach Blossom (Thyatira batis) - similarly only occasional records, a truly stunning moth to human eyes

Oak Hook-tip (Watsonalla binaria) - regular

Lasiocampidae

Small Eggar (Eriogaster lanestris) - quite a rare species but found three times at light (2011, 202, 2013) and pleasingly a caterpillar was found along one of the farmland hedges in 2020.
