Out near the Strid at Bolton Abbey today. What a great tree this was. Lots of blister mines (a few of which are now spending the winter in my wood store) and the feeding signs and hole left by Heliozela sericiella the Oak Cutter. #VC64@BradfordNature
@AndyDNunn @vc28wildlife @Pazonaut Indeed interesting. We've 50 records of microtheriella on hornbeam on the county database, but very few of floslactella - in fact they are nearly all yours Andy! You'll have to breed some out and see if we have carpinella.
Musotima nitidalis (Marbled Fern) on the sheet next to the trap this morning, Driffield, East Yorkshire. New to the county just a few weeks ago. I believe there have now been at least 7 individuals in Yorkshire including this one.

Diasemiopsis ramburialis was the best of the migrant activity to reach the centre of the country, and our #Yorkshire garden last night. Also, Scarce Bordered Straw, Delicate, Udea ferrugalis, Gem x 3, and others.
Radford's Flame Shoulder to light, Driffield, East Yorkshire last night. 78/30 moths. With the first for Yorkshire at Spurn earlier this week and another at N Ferriby last night, how many more are in Yorkshire right now? @DoubleKidney@BC_Yorkshire@BritishMoths@MigrantMothUK
A good trap last night, my first Clancy's Rustic, and this, which I believe is Yorkshire's first Radford's Flame Shoulder! Always wanted to catch one, and I swore when I turned over the tray 😊 #teammoth#kilnsea
