A relatively uneventful trap: Patania ruralis (Mother of Pearl) 15, Silver Y 8, Riband Wave 8, Dusky Thorn 4. A smattering of quality with Coxcomb Prominent and Scorched Carpet. #TeamMoth

A wander on Bonsall Moor this morning. Six-spot Burnet x4, Udea lutealis x3, Latticed Heath were just about the only moths seen. #TeamMoth

Only around 40 species last with nothing major to report. #TeamMoth

I just found this larva (on Yarrow) on Gang Mine. Can anyone confirm the identity? Obsidentify suggests Lime-speck Pug. #TeamMoth

Very few micros, but some interesting ones. #TeamMoth

Not too many other macros to deal with this morning but Brown-line Bright-eye seems to having a good year. #TeamMoth

A striking Peppered Moth this morning. I don't recall seeing one with a black head like this. #TeamMoth

The second of the Kedleston Hall NT surveys last night with @willowglass12.bsky.social and @belperbirder.bsky.social. I'll wait for Dave to tot up, but probably in the region of 120 species? I only took a few photos myself. #TeamMoth

Not many micros, but a couple of nfy, of which at least one is nfg I believe. Epinotia tenerana seems inexplicably scarce in Derbyshire, I know I've trapped it at Carsington but probably not on the garden. Ooh, and what's this @wheatersdave.bsky.social 😉 #TeamMoth Nemapogon cloacella, A goedartella

Only around 50 species last night but it turned into quite an interesting set. Least Carpet was nfy, 2 Golden Plusia, Canary-shouldered and Dusky Thorn, Campion, 2 Purple Bar, Phoenix, Golden-rod Pug, Beautiful Hook-tip #TeamMoth Micros to follow.

And a few more #TeamMoth

A few more from last night. Conditions weren't good for photos - breezy and barely light for many. Big numbers of commom species included: 70 Smoky W, 50 D Arches, 50 Uncertain agg, 40 Lge YU, 30 Com Rustic agg, 30 C Footman, 15 Sc Oak, 15 LBbYU, 15 Scarce Footman, 10 D Square-spot etc #TeamMoth

Another cracking night on the road. I trapped at Carsington adjacent to a large area of Traveller's Joy and the 2 target species duly obliged: Small Emerald 2 nfm, Haworth's Pug 3. Also Small Mottled Willow 4 (finally), and Olive amongst the highlights. #TeamMoth Time for bed 🛌 😴

Some decent micros last night too. Agonopterix anglicella appears to be very scarce in VC57. I need to get my head round the Epinotia, but probably solandriana? Also, Ypsolopha parenthesella 2, Plutella porrectella, H glaucinalis, Catoptria falsella, P pentadactyla, S pterodactyla. #TeamMoth

A couple of Marbled Carpet species from last night. The first I think is Dark Marbled Carpet the second is less clear cut from the underwing but is certainly a lovely looking thing. Any comments guys? #TeamMoth

A few others from last night's outing. I wasn't able to photograph all species as the light wasn't good in the woodland. #TeamMoth

Barred Carpet is a nationally scarce species of damp woodland. It seems to fade very quickly and I hadn't seen one in good condition before last night, so I was pleased with this one. #TeamMoth

You just can't beat getting out into good habitat! With the gusty wind last night I decided to find shelter in a local woodland and boy did it pay off! Engrailed 30, July Highflyer 20, Dun-bar 15, Clouded Magpie 8, Barred Carpet 6 etc etc. #TeamMoth

Reduced numbers and species diversity this morning due to a stiff gusting wind. The only nfy was Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing #TeamMoth My one per year Oak Nycteoline was, as is usual here, a dull looking specimen.

Anyone care to guess which Phyllonorycter this could be? Impossible probably, but I'd even be interested in an either/or. #TeamMoth Given the amount of Hazel locally coryli is probably favourite but it's probably destined for the hedge 😄

A lovely True Lover's Knot from Middleton last night #TeamMoth

The rest from Middleton, with roughly 580/100. Another surprise was Fen Wainscot a new moth for me and sounds like an American TV anchor 😄 Shark was nfy, Scallop Shell, Canary-shouldered Thorn nfy. Still c60 C Footman, 35 D Arches, 30 Uncertain agg. #TeamMoth

Up at Middleton last night and I was surprised to get another Blastobasis rebeli. Hmm 🤔 #TeamMoth Another 100 species night, with some goodies to follow.

One for #MothFaceFriday #TeamMoth Golden Plusia from a few days ago.

Some of the more readily identified micros from last night in Cromford #TeamMoth

A few macros from last night: Dewick's Plusia nfy, wouldn't settle so record shot only. #TeamMoth

I've gone micro blind. Who dis? #TeamMoth

Brown-tail was nfg in Cromford last night. #TeamMoth

Blastobasis rebeli was the moth of the morning in Cromford. @wheatersdave.bsky.social can you confirm, there's loads down there isn't there? #TeamMoth

Not overly exciting here: C Footman 33, Swallow-tailed 7, Double Square-spot 5, Plain GY 9, Lesser YU nfy. A few difficult micros, but probably D abietella, M propinquella, Udea ferrugalis nfy. Probably 7 G funebrana in the FUN lure (grey palps). #TeamMoth

Micros from last night in Cromford, VC57. #TeamMoth

A few more macros from last night. #TeamMoth

Lots of moths from 2 traps in the garden, c110 species. Not one, but 2 Brown Scallop following last weeks individual..hmm, interesting. #TeamMoth Large Emerald, a different Golden Plusia, Pinion-streaked Snout etc, etc.

Plenty of micros last night with several nfy/nfg. My usual standard of photography for the tiddlers...must get a camera 📷 #TeamMoth Also A goedartella, A pruniella, C pinella 4, E decentella. Any comments welcome.

Back down at home and another good session included a nfg macro in Double Lobed. Several other good macro species: Brown-line Bright-eye 2, Small Angle Shades, Golden Plusia, Large Twin-spot Carpet nfy, Juniper Pug, B Brass etc etc #TeamMoth

A few more from last night. The V-Moth was one of 5, so it appears to be doing well there. #TeamMoth

A few toilet wall ticks at Carsington this morning 😁. Black Arches and Ghost Moth are not to be sniffed at. Argyresthia goedartella on the Cherry nearby was nfy. Also the mine of Stigmella plagicolella on Blackthorn. #TeamMoth

Best of the rest from Middleton: Barred Straw 2, Iron Prominent, B Brass, Clay 2, Brown-line Bright-eye, V-Moth 5, White Satin, Clouded Border 2, Small Dotted Buff 2, Peach Blossom, V-Pug 5, Stenoptilia pterodactyla (Brown Plume) nfy. #TeamMoth

Another session at Middleton (daughter's) and a huge 105 Dark Arches 😵‍💫. I thought a photo of 1 of the handful of Light Arches was in order, on review it appears to be a Reddish Light Arches 😮😴. Also Grey and Buff Arches (nfy). Stacks of moths 330/60 ish in windy conditions. #TeamMoth

A good session up at Middleton last night: July HF 2, V-Moth 4, Purple Bar, Swallow-tailed, Phoenix, Barred Straw, Double Square-spot, Cabbage, Blackneck, Purple Clay, Peach Blossom, Peppered 2, Elephant 2, Buff-tip etc. Most numerous Uncertain agg 35, Dark Arches 14. #TeamMoth

I think this is ok for Etainia louisella on Field Maple at Carsington today. Also Udea lutealis there, nfy #TeamMoth

Nothing too exciting from a clear, cool night in Cromford. Common Footman was the main species with 43, and it was nice to see Pebble Prominent. Poplar Hawkmoth, V-Moth 2, Small F-f Wave 7, Early Thorn, Barred Straw 2. #TeamMoth

An absolutely bumper edition of Derbyshire Moth News for June! www.derbyshiremoths.org/derbyshire-m... #teammoth

Some grey/brown moths this morning but one was nfg and another nfy. Brown Scallop was a moth that I though I would have to go searching for but the good old garden obliged. #TeamMoth A bit of colour was provided by 2 B Brass and 2 Plain GY.

Pleased with this one from Gang Mine this afternoon. Gillmeria pallidactyla - Yarrow Plume, on the food plant. Also 2 Dichrorampha petiverella, 10 Eana osseana, Aethes hartmanniana, Pyrausta despicata, Pseudargyrotoza conwagana, Yellow Shell, Cinnabar, Chimney Sweeper. #TeamMoth

This morning was dominated by Riband Wave 40 and Common Footman 30, but several nfy and Dwarf Cream Wave 2 was nfg. #TeamMoth Elephant H, Poplar H, Purple Clay, Bird's Wing 3.

A pleasant couple of hours on Bonsall Moor this evening. Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet x5 nfy, Latticed Heath 2 nfy, Yellow Shell 5, Shaded Broad-bar, P porrectella, P xylostella, Metzneria metzneriella, Elachista triatomea, Z paleana 2, C consimilana, S pyralella 3 #TeamMoth

A few other bits from Rose End Meadows just now. #TeamMoth Also lots of C lacunana and E hohenwartiana.

A wander on the meadows produced a very good moth if my identification is correct. Olindia schumacherana looks like the 3rd record for VC57. #TeamMoth

I had a wander on Bonsall Moor yesterday evening, but it was far too windy. I must go back when the wind has dropped, the habitat is superb. Any thoughts on this Eucosma, I'm rubbish with them? #TeamMoth
