I discovered a few months back that when it rains if I place the MBT/funnel trap inside the kitchen door the moths fly in to escape the rain...tonight was forecast for showers at 1am but they started just before 10pm so out came the MBT and it didn't let me down with a haul of 85 moths including what looks to be a Varied Coronet which is a rarity in Derbyshire.
 The trap was on from 10:10pm till 3:30am

I got my first ever Short-cloaked Moth last night....well my first 4 of them in fact as well as the first Dingy Footman.
 I attended the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Amateur Entomologists Society summer show at Shipley country park today and on the way home we stopped at a site near West Hallam which had about 30 Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet moths flying around, I managed to catch one and I saw quite a few other assorted moths flying around so I will have to go back there and do some 'serious' running around like an idiot waving a net!.

Green Oak Tortrix

Light Grey Tortrix?

Fairly quiet here last night and not much new apart from a Green Oak Tortrix and what could possibly be a Light Grey Tortrix.....I got up today to find that the Lime Hawk eggs have started hatching and I now have 30 hungry babies to feed with more hatching as I write.....I'll get some photos if I can.
