Celypha rosaceana (?)

Obsidentify says 'C rufana' 100%, but I think this is Celypha rosaceana, nfg, in Ashurst, New Forest - views welcome! I'm hopeless on leaf mines, so assistance welcome on this sycamore leaf: Obsidentify says it is fungal (Sycamore Tarspot), but I wondered about Phyllonorycter geniculella #teammoth

Always nice to see Psychoides filicivora (Common Fern Moth) from this morning's MV in Ashurst, New Forest #teammoth

Yes, it is distinctive. On a quick look I thought perhaps leucographella but not right for that & much prettier!

I don't get many Cydia amplana in Ashurst, New Forest, so this was a nice nfy this morning, plus Phyllonorycter corylifoliella nfg & Cabbage nfy, plus 3 noctuella. Great to also have my 3rd Dusky Mocha of the year. Less welcome were 8 Hornets & 2 Box Moths! #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

Tree-lichen Beauty

Tree-lichen Beauty

I've only had a few Tree-lichen Beauty's previously in Ashurst, New Forest, so the one this morning was nice to see. Also Plumed Fanfoot but that was disturbed by another moth just as I was about to take the picture #teammoth

Grass Emerald

Grass Emerald

Grass Emerald was a notable absentee from the garden list in Ashurst, New Forest - until today. Also Musotima nitidalis (Australiasian native, now well established in the #NewForest) but it flew off in the dining room before I could photograph it & yet to be relocated.. #teammoth

Dingy Mocha

Dingy Mocha

Dingy Mocha is a Red Data Book & Biodiversity Action Plan specialty of Hants/Dorset: when I caught my first one since starting trapping 1990 in the garden in Ashurst, New Forest in April I thought it was just a wanderer, but a second one today encourages me that it is now established here #teammoth

Anania verbascalis was a nice nfy in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, plus difficult to resist posting pictures of Large Emerald & Light Crimson Underwing. 3 Small Mottled Willows were also my first for the year. #teammoth #migrantmoths

Small Purple Barred the best from this morning's mv in Ashurst, New Forest. Not uncommon on the forest rides but less than annual in the garden #teammoth

It did actually escape into the hedge (!), but I potted it from there as the size/shape/jizz were different from the usual geometers..

Brown Scallop is 'largely absent' from the New Forest, so this was a welcome nfg this morning, even though it took a bit of time to realise what it was! #teammoth

It's a 1-3 a year moth, so not common!

Really excited to see Argolamprotes micella for the first time in Ashurst, New Forest this morning - it's a moth I've always wanted to see & more beautiful than I hoped it would be! Also a Phyllocnistis, likely saligna, nfg & my 2nd ever Grapholita lobarzewskii #teammoth

It was definitely worth a nudge to re-check this! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Yes, & I've checked all the European Nolidae & can't see a better fit ...

Thanks, great to have the reassurance of another pair of eyes! Well past the peak season for Least Black Arches of course, but the Small BA that I've caught before have just been less well marked

More well marked than ones I have caught in the previous years, but I'm pretty sure this is Small Black Arches, along with an L-album Wainscot (plus 4 Four-Spotted Footman & Pale Oak Beauty) this morning in in Ashurst, New Forest #teammoth

With no migrants it needed the tiddlers to provide a bit of excitement!

No genuine migrants in Ashurst, New Forest today but a couple of my favourite micros: Pseudopostega crepusculella is a tiny white moth with amazing eye caps, while Parachronistis albiceps is a beautiful 'pied piper' Gelechid (but it flew off before a decent photo!) Year list up to 313. #teammoth

Epinotia signatana was a great nfg & Evergestis limbata my 2nd record in Ashurst, New Forest this morning. Pseuditelphusa paripunctella is annual here but was also nice to see #teammoth

For the most part an underwhelming set of moths this morning in Ashurst, New Forest but Fox Moth & a Delicate are always nice to see #teammoth

Cosmopterix orichalcia is not the easiest moth to photograph as it runs so fast! These were the best I could do before it escaped behind the radiator... My second in Ashurst, New Forest, after one in 2010. A real beauty! #teammoth
