Some vacated Phyllonorycter lantanella mines in South Yorkshire (VC 63) today, the first time I've found them on Viburnum tinus 'in the wild'. Also a Pammene giganteana to a SKI lure in East Yorkshire (VC 61). #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social

Two differently coloured Oak Beauties from the other night. One of the smartest spring moths! Seems to be getting commoner around here. Took 8 years to catch my first, and only seven records in the last 14 years, but have already had four this year. #teammoth #MothsMatter #YorkshireMoths

Some opportunistic leafminering on a family day out produced plenty of species, including Bucculatrix albedinella (elm), Coleophora albitarsella (ground-ivy), Stigmella catharticella (purging buckthorn) and Ectoedemia intimella (sallow). #TeamMoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social

The Coleophora sp. larval cases I found on sea purselane by the Humber Estuary last October turned out to be C. salinella! Only recorded in Yorkshire for the first time in August last year (I suspect it's been there a while though). #TeamMoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social

Now is a good time of year to look for Pale Tussock larvae. Handily, they fluoresce under UV. Here's one on the apple tree in my garden. #TeamMoth #YorkshireMoths #MothsMatter

Plenty of #leafmines on a black poplar at work today, with the three main species that occur in Yorkshire (Phyllocnistis unipunctella, Stigmella trimaculella, Gypsonoma oppressana) very easy to find, including all three on one leaf (last photo). #TeamMoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social

Interesting to see this White-line Dart emerge from sand outside a rabbit burrow at Cali Heath @yorkswildlife.bsky.social reserve today. Took about an hour for the wings to expand before it flew off. #yorkshiremoths @doublekidney.bsky.social @bcyorkshire.bsky.social
