Very in moth trap this morning so delighted to find a Ni moth on first egg box at Swinefleet VC63 #Yorkshiremoths @doublekidney.bsky.social @celastrina59.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
Eastern bordered straw trapped overnight at Swinefleet VC63 other migrants 10 silver y, white point and 2 rush veneers. Also only my second purple bar @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
A miracle has occurred in my garden. After making a complete hash of potting a Ni Moth in the morning, I netted what was surely the same individual nectaring on red valerian last night. Off to buy a lottery ticket now. #teammoth #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
Great to have this fabulous publication land on the doormat this morning - and just after a Hummingbird Hawk-moth flew past me in the garden #teammoth @bcyorkshire.bsky.social
The sawfly Parna apicalis on small-leaved lime at Hackfall Woods is the first definite record for Yorkshire. Thanks to @suillia.bsky.social for the confirmation.
Cydia strobilella emerged from cones of Norway spruce I collected nine days ago, just north of Masham. The first record for VC65 and the sixth for Yorkshire. Probaby under-recorded.
112,000 Yorkshire Moth records submitted so far. If you haven't sent yours in, please can we have them before I get too involved in the festive season!
