Yorkshire macro moth recorder and retired GP. https://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3mwtg7yhjt227Phyllonorycter pastorella from Pugneys CP today near Wakefield. Spreading across Yorkshire now, with records from VC61, 62 and 63. Phyllocnistis xenia on White Poplar also spreading, and this from St Aidan's NR is the first for VC64. @andydnunn.bsky.social01 Oct 2026 17:50 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwtg7yhjt227https://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3mv5ling7zk2dStriped Hawk-moth in my North Yorkshire garden trap this morning. I've lost count of the number in Yorkshire this year, but it's certainly over 20. Is this a separate wave or are these offspring of the May/June immigrants. Possibly offspring, as larvae have been found. @migrantmothuk.bsky.social10 Sep 2026 08:00 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv5ling7zk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3muwec2s3s225An unexpected Cypress Pug from the garden trap this morning.

Manchester Treble-bar was a major surprise at home. Two Cydia amplana at Nosterfield NR are the first for VC65 - seems to be quite an influx, and Ptocheuusa paupella at Ellington Banks is the first for VC64 and quite a range extension.14 Aug 2026 18:12 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2r3mbnh22whttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3msehtic7c22eSome good moths from Pilmoor in VC62 last night - the third Yorkshire record of Sitochroa verticalis and Cydia amplana.05 Aug 2026 21:28 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3msehtic7c22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3ms4fvfzqo22aSome nice moths from Upper Teesdale near High Force this weekend, including Chestnut-coloured Carpet, Juniper Pug and Anomalous. A rather under-recorded area. Chestnut-coloured Carpet was last recorded there in 1880! Good to know it is still thriving.02 Aug 2026 16:32 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms4fvfzqo22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3mq2jcyv2jk2kCaloptilia semifascia from the garden trap last night is new for VC65.07 Jul 2026 11:37 +0000at://did:plc:mqo7jtfh5ptxf63z2ugmj36c/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq2jcyv2jk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/doublekidney.bsky.social/post/3mpborsdf5k2xWe trapped Reddish Light Arches at Walton near Boston Spa last night.
