A disappointing result last night with only 15/10. The first Cinnabar of the year was the obvious highlight. #TeamMoth Streamer 2, Brindled Beauty 2, Early Grey, Depressaria radiella amongst the rest.

11/8 from a wet & windy Cromford last night. Nothing nfy but I'm pretty sure Early Tooth-striped is nfg. #TeamMoth

I found a couple of these larvae in the garden today between spun leaves of Greater Willowherb. I did consider Celypha lacunana but Clepsis spectrana has been muted, and seems a decent bet? #TeamMoth Probably not identifiable from these pics, but any suggestions?

Incurvaria pectinea, male and female from Bow Wood last night. Very reluctant to be photographed! #TeamMoth

Fairly quiet from the garden trap last night. The best was this Herald, with E postvittana nfy. #TeamMoth Moths around the lights at Carsington: Streamer 4, Shoulder Stripe 3, Water Carpet and Common Quaker.

I'm fairly confident this is Incurvaria pectinea rather than I.masculella. One of 2 from last night in Bow Wood. This one is a male, with the bipectinate antennae. #TeamMoth Any comments welcome.

Just back from another stint in Bow Wood. Lunar Marbled Brown x2 nfy, 2 Purple Thorn, Early Thorn, Water Carpet, 25 Brindled Pug, Satellite amongst the best. Also 2 of what I suspect are Incurvaria pectinea, which would be nfm (tbc) #TeamMoth

24/10 last night in the Cromford garden. Only Depressaria radiella nfy, but 3 Streamer, Water Carpet etc. This afto on Beeley Moor 2 Emperor and 4+ Philedonides lunana to the EMP lure. #TeamMoth

Inspired by the sunshine, a trip up Rose End Meadows with the net. An early Grapholita jungiella was the only mothy reward but several Peacock butterflies and Tawny mining bees were on the wing 🙂 #TeamMoth

An utterly ridiculous decision to run last night yielded 4 hardy moths. Pine Beauty (first garden record this year), Brindled Beauty, Hebrew Character and Emmelina monodactyla. #TeamMoth At least the trap was in one piece this morning 🙂

Only 17/7 from a couple of hours in Bow Wood: Hebrew Ch, Common Quaker 2, Purple Thorn nfy, Early Tooth-striped 5, Brindled Pug 6, Oak-tree Pug nfy, Emmelina monodactyla. #TeamMoth

Out in Bow Wood for a few hours this evening. A slow start but this rather lovely Purple Thorn has just come in. #TeamMoth

A similar set of moths to yesterday, so I won't record most as there's likely retrap involved. The only certain garden year tick was this Streamer. #TeamMoth

7/7 from Cromford last night. Water Carpet, Early Thorn, Engrailed, Clouded Drab, Hebrew Character, Diurnea fagella, Agonopterix heracliana/ciliella. #TeamMoth Also another Water Carpet up at Carsington. Curlew over the garden and adult Kittiwake through Carsi.

Only 4/4 on a cold breezy night here in VC57. At least there was a nfy in the form of this Brindled Beauty (species 41 of the year). #TeamMoth

Only 35/7 from a couple of hours in Bow Wood but a couple of nice species. Semioscopis avellanella x3 is only the 2nd VC57 record (previous 2011). No doubt it's present in much of the ancient Birch woodland in the area? #TeamMoth

Sheet and light tonight in Bow Wood 🤞 #TeamMoth

Garden lurkers this afternoon we're a 3rd Early Thorn and a very fresh D-sPug. The Scarlet Tiger caterpillars seem to have moved onto the Green Alkanet and are increasing in size. #TeamMoth

Pine Beauty from this morning. Found inside the gents at Carsington, but way too nice to spend the rest of its existence in there! #TeamMoth

It's always worth a good perusal of the public toilets 😏. Little in the way of birds at Carsington but plan B produced 4 species of moth of which 2 were nfy 😃. #TeamMoth

Back in the garden last night with 25/10, including Early Thorn x2 nfy. I might try to get out somewhere tonight if I feel up to it 🤞 #TeamMoth

Only 17/8 last night with nothing nfy. HC 5, SQ 3, CQ 2, Engrailed, Red Chestnut, Early Grey, March Moth 3, D fagella. #TeamMoth

Hopefully it could be ok tonight up at the daughter's 🙏 #TeamMoth

26/9 last night : SQ 5, CQ 3, CD 2, TsQ 2, HC 8 (including this oddly marked individual), Oak Beauty, Shoulder Stripe 2, Double-striped Pug 2, E monodactyla. #TeamMoth

Obligatory photo of the first Dark-edged Bee-fly of the year at Carsington.

Only 9/6 here in Cromford with clear skies reducing the numbers. Diurnea fagella x2 nfy, Early Grey, Clouded Drab x2, Common Quaker, Hebrew Character, March Moth x2. #TeamMoth

A couple of moths on the hide door again at Carsington (light over door). Water Carpet was nfy, but also yet another Lead-coloured Drab! There's a chance it could be the same individual from 6 days ago which I released 150 metres away 🤷 #TeamMoth

25/9 overnight from the garden with Red Chestnut and Brindled Pug nfy. Four Small Quaker is possibly a garden record 🤔 #TeamMoth I resisted the temptation to post the Shoulder Stripe 😬

Severe moth withdrawal setting in here after 5 days without a trap, symptoms include: 1. Repeated checking of phone weather apps. 2. Wandering outside and gazing skyward. 3. General irritability. 4. Considering leaf mines 😬 5. Ridiculous urge to trap tonight in cold and wet conditions. #TeamMoth 😪

10+ Pammene giganteana to the FUN lure in Bow Wood, Cromford. #TeamMoth

Look away now @sj84turner.bsky.social 😬 Just found this on the side of my daughter's house 😃 Autumn Green Carpet nfy! #TeamMoth

No trapping last night but a little something found on the outside of the bird hide at Carsington this morning. Can anyone offer any thoughts on what's happening with Lead-coloured Drab? Two records for me in a few days of a species that's considered mega rare here? #TeamMoth

21/9 last night here in VC57. One nfy in Grey Shoulder-knot, which is the first for some years. #TeamMoth

Four other nfys last night in VC57 #TeamMoth

12/9 overnight in Cromford with a major surprised being this Lead-coloured Drab nfg. A moth I'd been thinking about but was struggling to see where I might find it. #TeamMoth

A dismal showing here with just 4/3 😑 A couple of half decent moths with Satellite and Twin-spotted Quaker but just 2 CDs for company. #TeamMoth Better go and see if I can see through the fog at Carsington 🫩

22/10 is a good return here for early March. Another (or the same) Mottled Grey, 2 Oak Beauty, Emmelina monodactyla nfy. #TeamMoth

Standard fare last night with 13/6. #TeamMoth

Nice to get the Pug season underway here with this fresh Double-striped, which was actually in the kitchen. #TeamMoth

6/6 last night in Cromford with the standout moth being this Mottled Grey. A new species for me and one I'd hoped might be possible on Cromford Moor, so rather a surprise to get it in the garden. Twin-spotted Quaker and Double-striped Pug also nfy. #TeamMoth

9/6 overnight in breezy Cromford with 2 nfy - Oak Beauty 2, Clouded Drab. Also 2 Common Quaker, Pale Brindled Beauty, March Moth, Agonopterix h/c 2. #TeamMoth

An Oak Beauty, just in, is the 18th species of the year for me in VC57 #TeamMoth

No trapping last night, but a couple of Shoulder Stripe on the wildlife centre door at Carsington this morning. There's an outside chance that tomorrow night might be doable 🤞🤞 #TeamMoth

8/6 from the garden last night with the best being my earliest Shoulder Stripe. #TeamMoth

52/10 last night in local woodland including 30 Tortricodes alternella, 6 Yellow Horned, 2 Satellite and 2 Ypsolopha sp tbc (likely ustella I assume). #TeamMoth

Moths arriving here: Satellite 2, Chestnut 3, Common Quaker 1. #TeamMoth

A fairly predictable result from the garden last night with just 5/3. Given that other Derbyshire moth-ers were trapping decent numbers I'll be off out into better habitat tonight. #TeamMoth

Thoughts on this please people. Found inside bird hide at Carsington this morning. Obsidentify suggests Mompha jurassicella which would be a good record for here (gen det required obviously). #TeamMoth

Last night's Satellite. The only other adult moth was an Agonopterix heracliana/ciliella agg, and there was a now obligatory Scarlet Tiger caterpillar on the fence. #TeamMoth

Following last night's Wogan I'm having another go in the garden tonight. A quick check has just revealed a Satellite, nfy 🙂 #TeamMoth
