63.031 [B&F: 1395] Rusty-dot Pearl Udea ferrugalis (Hübner, 1796) - Migrant

Common immigrant to the British Isles from mainland Europe, most frequent on waste ground by the coast where sometimes abundant. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight a common immigrant, which is widely distributed throughout in some years. Wingspan 18-22 mm. The rusty forewing with prominent black discal spot is characteristic of this species [Goater]. Larva feeds on herbaceous plants.

63.032 [B&F: 1389] Udea fulvalis (Hübner, [1809]) - Migrant

Formerly considered a migrant to southern England from mainland Europe, in some years arriving in sufficient numbers to breed, it now has become established since the mid 1990s predominantly along the south coast of Hampshire inland into the New Forest, and along the north shore of the Isle of Wight; it is spreading northwards and has now reached the VC11/VC12 boundary, and one in the north-east in 2022 represents the first incursion from the Sussex heaths to the east. Wingspan 24-29 mm. Similar in structure, size and markings to U. prunalis, but differs in the dull fulvous brown coloration of the forewing, which is slaty grey in U. prunalis, and in the wider submedian sinus of second line [Goater]. Larva feeds on Black Horehound, Meadow Clary, Red Campion and White Campion.

63.033 [B&F: 1388] Udea lutealis (Hübner, [1809]) - Common

Common on waste ground, gardens and woodland edges throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight locally common to abundant, but scarce or absent in many places where, due to its polyphagous nature, it might be expected. Wingspan 23-26 mm. An easily recognised species on account of the pale coloration and dark clouding in apex of hindwing [Goater]. Larva polyphagous on various herbaceous plants, including Bramble, Thistle, Wormwood and Scabious.

Common in thickets, copses and hedgerows throughout the British Isles. Frequently recorded and well distributed across much of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 23-26 mm. Slate-coloured overall appearance and weak markings distinguish from other Udea species, lack of white patch between the stigmata distinguish from U. olivalis. Larva feeds on various herbaceous and woody plants

63.038 [B&F: 1405] Mother of Pearl Patania ruralis (Scopoli, 1763) - Common

Common in rural gardens, waste ground and rough pastures throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 33-37 mm. One of the largest and most familiar pyralids, wings have an opalescent sheen, most obvious in sunshine, which gives rise to the vernacular name. Larva feeds predominately on Stinging Nettle, living within a spun or rolled leaf.

63.039 [B&F: 1396] Mecyna flavalis ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - pRDB2

Rare (proposed as a future Red Data Book species) on chalk downland and grassy slopes in parts of southern England, predominantly coastal. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight the species has two strongholds where it is common, on Porton, Broughton and Stockbridge Downs on the mainland, and Compton Down on the Island. Occasional specimens encountered away from these localities suggest that there may be other, perhaps small, colonies still undetected. Wingspan 25-29 mm. Both wings have a very narrow, dark terminal line and greyish cilia, producing a sharply pencilled outline to the wings which, together with the presence of a third stigmatal spot in the forewing, makes this species easy to recognise [Goater]. Larva feeds on Hedge Bedstraw, Field Woundwort, Black Horehound, Small Nettle and Mignonette.

63.040 [B&F: 1397] Mecyna asinalis (Hübner, [1819]) - Nationally Scarce B

Nationally scarce (Nb) on limestone downland and coastal cliffs in Britain, from Sussex to southern Wales, and in southern Ireland. On the Isle of Wight, frequent on the coast. In Hampshire although the foodplant occurs occasionally on the mainland, there are only a very few records of the moth. Wingspan 27-34 mm. Easily recognised by the long, pointed wings and soft blue-grey coloration [Goater]. Larva feeds on Wild Madder.

63.041 [B&F: 1410] Agrotera nemoralis (Scopoli, 1763) - pRDB1

Previously considered restricted as a breeding species in the UK to woodland in Kent, with occasional records from elsewhere as presumed migrants; however, in 2014 a breeding colony was found in Torpoint, Cornwall. In our area the only historic record dated from 1946, until another (illustrated here) was taken at MV by John Langmaid in Southsea on 4th June 2010. The first of Isle of Wight record was one to light in Borthwood Copse on 21st June 2015, since when it has been taken annually, indicating probable colonisation of the south-east of the island. Still rare on the mainland, there have been four reports since 2018, which may relate to dispersion across the Solent; remarkably far inland, one turned up in Alton (VC12) in 2023. Wingspan 20-24 mm. Unmistakable. Larva feeds on Hornbeam and Hazel.

63.048 [B&F: 1408] Palpita vitrealis (Rossi, 1794) - Migrant

Immigrant to south-western England from southern Europe. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded in most years, chiefly on the Isle of Wight and near the Hampshire coast, occasionally making it as far north as vice-county 12. Wingspan 27-31 mm. Unmistakable. Larva feeds on Summer Jasmine, Olive, Wild Privet and similar, no evidence of breeding in the UK.

Nationally scarce (Nb) on cliffs and shingle beaches in England, from Sussex to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, predominantly coastal. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight local and uncommon on the coast. Wingspan 20-25 mm. The long legs and antennae give the species a distinctive jizz; in the superficially similar Synaphe punctalis, the discal spot is dark and the second line is clearly pale-edged distally [Goater]. Larva feeds on flowers and leaves of plants such as Bird's-foot Trefoil, Red Clover and Buckshorn Plantain.

63.052 [B&F: 1398] Rush Veneer Nomophila noctuella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Migrant

Common immigrant from mainland Europe, appearing throughout the British Isles, abundantly in some years, but most frequently and numerously in the south. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight a common immigrant, which is widely distributed throughout in some years. Wingspan 25-34 mm. Until recently, this was regarded as an absolutely unmistakable species, but it is now known to comprise a species complex of considerable size, one of which, N. nearctica, has been recorded in Britain. Larva feeds on Leguminosae, over-wintering as a pupa.

63.054 [B&F: 1409a] Box-tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) - Adventive

A native to Asia, and after an initial finding in Germany in 2007, it has been found elsewhere in Europe, thought that the species was originally introduced with imports from China. Since the first finding, larvae have been found in more locations across Germany, sometimes causing severe defoliation as they feed on box (Buxus sp.). By 2008, C. perspectalis had been reported from five countries in Western Europe. In England, it was first recorded in 2008, when adult moths were caught in light traps at Icklesham, East Sussex, and Weybridge, Surrey. In 2009 a nursery in Surrey found perspectalis larvae causing severe damage.

In 2013, a large infestation was discovered at Longstock Nursery in central Hampshire, from which a number of adults were bred. In the same year, a few individuals were caught in the wild, provenance unknown, and it was new for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight in the same year.

As can be seen from the annual distribution graph, a resident population became established around 2016-2017, and numbers are increasing significantly each year. In southern Hampshire in particular it can be one of the most abundant species to light for some unfortunate recorders.

Wingspan 38-42 mm. Somewhat variable, but typical form unmistakable, and there is an attractive purple-black melanic form which is not uncommon. Larva feeds on Box, and may become a horticultural pest in the UK.
