The fifth issue of ‘The Bexley Lepidopterist’, Mike Robinson’s latest compilation of information regarding butterflies and moths in Bexley, is made available for reading or download below.
This includes an updated list of the first sightings of all butterfly species seen in the Borough this year, a note on the number of species recorded in local gardens, lists of species seen on the fourth (Erith Southern Marsh) and fifth (Holly Hill Open Space) organised ‘butterfly walks’ (of which there will be more next year) , an account of the tantalising possibility that there was a Camberwell Beauty at Foots Cray Meadows, a warning about the Box Moth (for which details of any further local sightings are sought) and a report on a first moth-trapping session at Thames Road Wetland.
