Tony James' photos with the keyword: Noctuid

Noctuidae Wingspan: 42mm. Picture taken by Madeline, but included here to make up a complete set of the species recorded at this location. Only appearing at the trap during our stay, 23 were recorded in the week. Originally considered the same species as Allophyes oxyacanthae (Green Brindled Crescent) seen in the UK. However there are a number of close species in Europe in this Genus, and the minor wing pattern variations indicate that this is actually the title on this picture.

Noctuidae, Cuculliinae Wingspan: 44mm. A widespread Autumnal species in Europe and the UK. Seven were recorded by Madeline before our arrival, and 16 more during our stay.

Noctuidae, Acronictinae Wingspan: 38mm. A common Species in this area, Madeline having recorded 20 before our arrival, and 112 were recorded in the week we were there. This is quite a variable species coloured from orange to a deep dark brown.

One of the handful of first Noctuid species to appear in the UK Spring, it is quite prominent being geneally very pale. Some specimens can have a nice pink flush through the wings.

Noctuidae, Acronictinae. Wingspan: 34mm. Although considered fairly common in the UK, it is widespread but not often seen in Cornwall. This is only the second time one has arrived in our garden trap, and only the third we've ever had to our traps including one at a remote woodland that we were researching.

Noctuidae - Wingspan: 30mm. Three specimens were recorded during our stay; 3rd(1), 9th(1), & 12th(1).
