Invasion
of (migrant) Lepidotera on Dursey Island.***
We are now witnessing another invasion of migrant Lepidotera on Dursey
Island. The fine weather began on 9 September, when the wind went round to the
north-east, and since then we have had wall-to-wall sunshine, light
north-easterly or easterly breezes, and temperatures up to 17 or 18 (18.5
today).
The first two Red Admiral arrived in our garden at 10:00 hrs, and then at least 20 moved east through our garden during the afternoon. There must have been at least 50 on the island. Other migrants included three Painted Lady, two Small Tortoiseshell, 10/9;
Numbers of Red Admiral increased to at least 80, including 30 near the west end of the island and 20 in our garden. There were also 16 Painted Lady, three Small Tortoiseshell and 15 Silver Y, mostly at the west end of the island or in our garden, 11/9;
There were now at least 100 Red Admiral, 50 Painted Lady and 12 Small Tortoiseshell on the island, 12/9;
Numbers
of Red Admiral, Painted
Lady and Small Tortoiseshell are
at least as high as yesterday 13/9. D Scott*
[ I
wonder if this is reverse migration? i.e. lepidoptera trying to escape
from Nama etc.
There have been reports from previous years of Red Admirals
heading out to sea in autumn. D Nash*
