Place

Charteris Bay 8971, New Zealand (Google, OSM)

Description

Lepidoptera survey of Te Ahu Patiki / Mt Herbert. Day-flying moths searched for around the top in tussock grassland, damp areas, and rocky bluffs. Night work done on forest fragments on the northern slopes between My Herbert and Mt Bradley. Forest fragments consisted of kowhai, totara, narrow-leaved lacebark, ribbonwood, amongst others. A diverse range of vines and lots of tree nettle (Urtica ferox) - a wonderful plant that supports many moth species - oh, and the red admiral. A stunning diversity of Lepidoptera and would love to return. Many thanks to Te Ahu Pātiki Charitable Trust.

Purau 8972, New Zealand (Google, OSM)

Description

Majority of moths drawn to 5 UV lights or a LepiLED light (6 lights total) in various spots around the forest and shrubland margins. Also, quite a few caught in Shaun's Heath moth trap overnight. Two nights of mothing. The first was cloudy and mild with light rain. The second was mild with a clear sky. The rainy night was the better of the two nights easily!
