Primark are advertising using classic album covers in their shop window displays. What has happened to Mick Fleetwood’s balls? They’ve gone!

I’ve moved to the other place and changed my handle to illutana

Despite the grim weather the first bluebell leaves are showing in the woods and we’ve already had a drumming woodpecker this year. Not sure I really celebrate these super-early signs of spring in our changing world…

@MOTHIDUK Thank you so much for your invaluable help - I can’t make ko-fi work at the moment but I’ll try again later

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

Last one. Egregiously bad photo - but Shaded Broad-bar? 19/7
Thank you so much for your help ⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

Sorry - nearly done! - Common Pug? 2/6 and 18/5 ⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

And Willow Ermine? 20/7 VC61 I’m not sure one can tell these species from a photo ⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

Just sorting the season’s records - is this Dark-barred Twin-spot Carpet please? ⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

Thank you!

I’m sorry to bother you again ⁦@AndyDNunn⁩ and ⁦@DoubleKidney⁩ but I have finally found a mine on aspen. Not sure if it’s lepidopterous

@jesika55551 @BC_Yorkshire @savebutterflies @StNicksFields @ynuorg @YNET4 @YorksWildlife @rewildyorkshire @DoubleKidney @MOTHIDUK We’ll work it out next time I spot you. The photo definitely looks interesting but I am myself learning!

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

@jesika55551 @BC_Yorkshire @savebutterflies @StNicksFields @ynuorg @YNET4 @YorksWildlife @rewildyorkshire And @MOTHIDUK are great at confirming identification

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

@jesika55551 @BC_Yorkshire @savebutterflies @StNicksFields @ynuorg @YNET4 @YorksWildlife @rewildyorkshire You need a photo showing all critical features or a specimen. Not sure what Vice County you are in (three meet close by) - recorders’ details are in the Yorkshire Butterflies and Moths report. @DoubleKidney would be interested; it might be the first county record since 2022…

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

@jesika55551 @BC_Yorkshire @savebutterflies @StNicksFields @ynuorg @YNET4 @YorksWildlife @rewildyorkshire Amazing. When did you see the moth Jessika? Wormwood is listed as ´Rare and local resident on the verge of extinction’ in Yorkshire. I don’t know this species (it’s grade 3 for id) but it might be new to the vice county.

@vc28wildlife @AndyDNunn @DoubleKidney Thank you both very much for your help and discussion on these

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

Is it at all possible to ID these mines on hornbeam please?VC61 ⁦@AndyDNunn⁩. Only just starting out on these after an excellent morning in the field with ⁦@DoubleKidney⁩ last month. Lots to learn!

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

Thank you - I really appreciate you having a look

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

I’m sorry to send these in, but is there really enough to say Pine Carpet on these two? ⁦⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[Paz Fletcher @Pazonaut]

This seems to be a very late Swallow-tailed Moth. 30/10 VC61 ⁦@DoubleKidney⁩
