Sweeping birch under oak this morning provided two new insects: the Nationally Scarce Pammene splendidulana (Shining Oak Tortrix) & the commoner Anaspis fasciata. Later 4 Wood Sandpipers with the local Crane #NorfolkBirding. Green Hairstreak & Pammene rhediella (Fruitlet Mining Tortrix) there too.

...this morning. The lure went out & instantly, there was a Bluebell Conch. I took photos. I looked at them & one of Monday's moths. The same moth! Amazing given I watched it launch itself into the air & away over the churchyard. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths #teammoth 3/3

10's of 1000's of Common Bluebells today (heady scent on the breeze 👌) & we headed to a spot where we found Bluebell Conch (Small Bluebell Beauty) - Hysterophora maculosana - in 2025. After an hour, we finally found one. Archive 2025 shot too. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths

WOW! We have just passed 3.5 million records, it is certainly a record breaking year, details to come in December as I attempt a New for Norfolk advent calendar and post a species per day 😅... Yes we have had that many!!! #teammoth #norfolkmoths

New for Norfolk? Or are they all this species? Two moths from the Phyllocnistis saligna complex collected in July 2024 have been DNA barcoded by the University of Warwick; both confirmed as P. asiatica. (via R. Ward, Oct 2025) norfolkmoths.co.uk/micros.php?b... #norfolkmoths

Rather excited (understatement du jour) to find this in the actinic this morning. Norfolk Snout (Nothris verbascella), thought to be extinct in the UK until last year, when Dave Jones rediscovered it. Now to search for its larval food, Hoary Mullein. #norfolkmoths #teammoth #moths #lepidoptera
