A Survey for the Sandhill Rustic Luperina nickerlii gueneei on Newborough Warren National Nature Reserve (2016)
A total of 149 adults of the Sandhill Rustic Luperina nickerlii gueneei were recorded on Newborough Warren between 29th August and 2nd September 2016. This included 121 adults on saltmarsh and dune edge at Penllyn Pysgod and Braich Abermenai, and 28 adults on Cefni Dunes & saltmarsh. Numbers indicate robust populations at these two sites. They have survived the 2013-14 winter storms which eroded large areas of the fore dunes on Newborough Warren and may have responded to developing Sand Couch habitat following the event. The total count contrasts sharply with the previous survey in 2010 which recorded just twelve adults. However, seaward-facing populations in front of Newborough Forest at Ro Bach and Traeth Llanddwyn, and at Gwddw Llanddwyn on Ynys Llanddwyn, where the moth was recorded in small numbers in 2010, seem to have been lost. It is suggested that areas of suitable breeding habitat are mapped as they develop to determine their extent, and that the Sandhill Rustic population is monitored at regular intervals, depending upon the frequency of severe winter storms.
