Yeah, a fly. I think the common name is Drain flies.

Health competition rather than over zealous madness I'm sure 🤔

11/8 from a wet & windy Cromford last night. Nothing nfy but I'm pretty sure Early Tooth-striped is nfg. #TeamMoth

Ooh, more nice stuff that I've missed. YOU ARE BACK 😁

Another nice find there. Are we destined to see loads of early stage stuff then 🤔 😉

Good stuff Steve. I was actually looking for that yesterday 🙄

I found a couple of these larvae in the garden today between spun leaves of Greater Willowherb. I did consider Celypha lacunana but Clepsis spectrana has been muted, and seems a decent bet? #TeamMoth
Probably not identifiable from these pics, but any suggestions?

Fantastic! Certainly hold on to that friend 😉

Nice to see the masculella, which is a lot more contrasty than the Incurvaria pectinea I had recently 👍

Nice 🙂

Great Prominent hasn't really made it to VC57 yet (unless you're @willowglass12.bsky.social ). There's more chance of Nut-tree locally, if I can get out somewhere suitable.

😄 Patience dear boy.

Some fine mothery there Dave.

Great Prom and Nut-tree

2 lifers for me there Clare, and all 3 would be nfg. Lovely pics.

Yeah so I see. Doubtless a lot more common than records suggest.

Nice one. I assume the brighter one in a male.

Fairly acceptable by my standards 🙂
They didn't want to stay still and I wanted a pic of the different sexes.

Male

Female

Incurvaria pectinea, male and female from Bow Wood last night. Very reluctant to be photographed! #TeamMoth

Cheers, Simon

Ooh, nice 😃

Thanks Les

Good stuff Dave.

🙏

Good numbers there mate.

Great numbers Tim 😃

Thanks

Yeah, photos can appear so different (well mine can at least 😄). I've not seen either before but apparently masculella is a lot more contrasting.

Herald

Fairly quiet from the garden trap last night. The best was this Herald, with E postvittana nfy. #TeamMoth
