Butterfly Conservation's new reserve Rough Bank is a site known by some local butterfly enthusiasts for many years, but until 2012 there had been few reports of moths found there apart from daytime observations on a few occasions. One such record in 1993 was of a larva of Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth found feeding on Devil's-bit Scabious. Five nationally scarce micro-moth species had also been recorded at the site in the past.
Since BC bought the reserve in 2012 a total of 280 moth species have been recorded on the site, plus 7 other species in earlier years. Two of these were the first records for the species in Gloucestershire: Trifurcula headleyella and Coleophora therinella.
3 nationally rare species have been found at Rough Bank (species given provisional Red Data Book status in the 2012 review of the status of microlepidoptera in Britain), and 25 nationally scarce species: 3 in the Notable a category, 22 Notable b.
This page lists the moth species recorded at the site, mostly on the unimproved limestone grassland slopes of Rough Bank SSSI but also any additional species recorded in the two pasture fields which were included in BC's purchase. These fields both have wetland areas with plants associated with such habitat, probably supporting colonies of several moth species (e.g. Glyphipterix thrasonella and Coleophora taeniipennella have been found).
For each species the table below lists Bradley number, scientific and common names, national status, most recent year recorded and typical UK larval food. The list will be updated at least annually using records sent to the current VC33 (East Gloucestershire) Moth Recorder, Robert Homan. It is updated more frequently with my own records from the site, and with additional species reported to me or posted on the Glosmoths Yahoo group for inclusion here. Records prior to 2012 are from the former Gloucestershire Moth Recorder Roger Gaunt's database.
Scientific family, genus and species names and their order in the list is based mainly on the checklist in the Field guide to the Micro Moths (Sterling, Parsons & Lewington, 2012) and for macro moths the Checklist of Lepidoptera Recorded from the British Isles (2nd edition, Bradley, 2000). Typical UK larval food information was derived from several reference books and other publications, and may not be completely accurate.
The Bradley number links in the table below are to the species entries on the UK Moths website. The species name links are to tetrad-scale species distribution maps for Gloucestershire. For details of the data shown on these maps, and interactive maps showing more information, see the main Gloucestershire Moth Distribution Maps page. Please note that the maps are not updated frequently, so some species listed below may not yet be shown as recorded in the Rough Bank tetrad SP90E. Also some informal reports of species from Rough Bank are listed below, but such records will only be mapped if the recorder sends them to the VC33 (East Gloucestershire) Moth Recorder - for contact details see the distribution maps page.
