Rugged Rover (Platypolia anceps) |
Monday, 10 September 2012
The number of moths for the last two nights have continued to be low. There were 16 moths of 11 species on the 9th and 9 moths of 7 species last night. In fact, after some rough weather in the afternoon and evening, I was in two minds as to whether to put the trap out last night . However, I'm glad I did as there was a new backyard species in the light trap this morning. I'm putting it down as Rugged Rover (Platypolia anceps). It appears be quite similar to Platypolia contadina but I think the fairly wide bipectinate antennae make it anceps. Having said that I have asked for a second opinion.
