Rather a lovely way to finish a day’s walking along the Yorkshire coast #teammoth
Fascinating to find this at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in Cambridge. I wonder who first had the idea of using them to record moths… #teammoth
43spp last night VC61. Please can I check Dark Spectacle and Cream Wave as they are new to the site. The latter seems new to 10km sq. Thank you so much @mothiduk.bsky.social

Fine dawn to dusk explore of Holderness yesterday after an early start at Bempton. Garden Warblers and Lesser Whitethroats new migrants for the year…
64/37 last night in VC61. Badger down to one foot (!) Almost as many cockchafers as moths but 5 potential firsts for the site including Anchylis mitterbacheriana, Sandy Carpet - and I think that’s Rivulet rather than Small Rivulet… #teammoth @doublekidney.bsky.social Please say if I’m mistaken!
Would these pass muster, please @mothiduk.bsky.social ? Phyllonorycter trifasciella, Homoeosoma sinuella, Argyresthia spinosella. VC61 22/5 #teammoth

I’ve just found this micro on tansy in VC61. Is it a Dichrorampha sp? I’m not sure it’s possible to go further than that with a photo; many of these seem scarce in Yorkshire. Any thoughts appreciated @mothiduk.bsky.social @doublekidney.bsky.social
