Euspilapteryx auroguttella and Fomoria septembrella mines on St. John's-wort in my garden today. I only sowed the seeds earlier this year! Possibly only the 4th VC 61 record of E. auroguttella? Dark Spectacle was new for the garden recently. #teammoth Charles Fletcher Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire
An Iron Prominent larva wandering along the edge of a raised bed by my moth trap this morning. Presumably fell or descended from a nearby birch. #teammoth Charles Fletcher Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire
Lots of Gypsonoma oppressana mines on black poplar at work today. Also a couple of Lyonetia clerkella mines on pear. It's extremely abundant this year, but I think this is the first time I've found it on pear. #teammoth Charles Fletcher Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire
Hi @vc28wildlife, Andy Banthorpe & David Shenton, any thoughts on these Coleophora cases on sea purslane please? I believe that some species can't be distinguished from their cases, but some can? Some are clearly trivalved, but some aren't. Thanks! #teammoth Charles Fletcher
A few moth highlights from the last week: Palpita vitrealis and Exapate congelatella (both new for the garden, VC 61), a Caloptilia honoratella mine on sycamore, and a Coleophora lusciniaepennella larval case on grey willow. #teammoth Charles Fletcher Migrant Lepidoptera Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire
A few recent VC 61 #leafmines: Stigmella viscerella (elm, 6th record?), S. betulicola (birch, 3rd record?), S. assimilella (aspen, 5th record?), Coleophora potentillae (bramble, 3rd record). No migrants in my garden though. #teammoth Charles Fletcher Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire
I'm assuming this is just an aberrant Silver Y, rather than an aberrant Beautiful Golden Y or something more exciting, but thought I'd best check! Any thoughts please Charles Fletcher Migrant Lepidoptera dave grundy๐ช๐บ๐ท? VC 61 last night. Thanks!
