A somewhat worn and badly photo'd Coleophora. But its one of 5/6 . None of which are recorded at baggeridge. Can't get any closer than that but it does mean I can try and narrow down searches for the cases later in the year. The hunt is on 😁 #teammoth
More mining today and found a couple of Coleophora limosipennella on Elm 😊 #teammoth
Added Red belted Clearwing to the Baggeridge records today 😊 came in to the CUL lure. #teammoth
Yay, Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the garden just now. Managed this super pic, that's it there, honest! Best pic ive ever taken of one in the garden 😁 #teammoth
Red-belted Clearwing to the myo lure, in my garden. Trying to convince myself that they must be using my old apple trees! Either way a NFM,NFG and I do just love a Clearwing 😊 #teammoth
The torrential downpour eased of about 11 last night so put the trap on, just because, well you never know! Figure of 80 and Small Mottled Willow waiting this morning 😊 #teammoth

NFG Argyresthia cupresella, and this Phycitodes which will remain a possible maybe or not maritima. Its a grade 4 gen det job and its already flown. Just looked a bit interesting 😊 mind you feeds ragwort&yarrow so my garden is prime habitat 😁 #teammoth
Been on a bit of a Coleophora twitch! Colleague found a Coleophora kuehnella at local common. It was still present. Suspect an old case but still pleased to have found it. Then bonus case Coleophora binderella on Birch. #teammoth
Found Willow Ermine at Baggeridge for first time last year. Found another batch this year 😊
