A SURVEY OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF CUSKINNY, GREAT ISLAND, CO CORK,
1993-MARCH 1994
The following report was prepared by Ken Bond of the Department
of Zoology and Animal Ecology, National University of Ireland at Cork
Summary
Altogether 122 species of Lepidpotera were recorded from in or near
Cuskinny during this survey. The most noteworthy species recorded is
Eupithecia phoeniciata (Rambur, 1834) (the Cypress Pug); the
only other Irish record being from Fountainstown, co Cork, Myers (1982).
This is a species which has been spreading north across Britain as the
result of the widespread planting of its foodplants, Chamaecyparis and
Cupressus macrocarpa, which have become increasingly popular with gardeners.
Other species of note include Nonagria typhae (Bulrush Wainscot),
a local species whose larva feeds in the stems of Bulrush, and Protodeltote
pygarga (Marbled White-spot), whose larva is reported to feed on
Molinia caerulea “and other grasses” (Emmet. 1991). Although
this moth has been found commonly at the Rothamsted light trap at Fota
Wildlife Park, it is rare outside its main centre of distribution in
Kerry and parts of West Cork.
