Two new Dalgety Bay moths

So far this month Dalgety Bay has seen two new moths. Neither are particularly rare, but both welcome additions to the list. Capua vulgana (Common Twist) was recorded on 24/05/2026, with Monopis laevigella (Skin Moth) on 25/05/2026.

(note: later discovered that Capua vulgana was actually recorded, but not by me)

Started messing around with AI. New Dalgety Bay and Carlingnose pages available on tabs to the right.

2020 season well underway

So the first proper spring moths are trickling onto the board already, with March Moh, Dotted Border and Common Quaker all putting in an appearance. Might even be time to get the battery-powered gear out of the loft

Cullaloe LNR 300th lep!

This beatiful streamer was the 300th lep recorded on the reserve. Still another 18 to go for the 300th moth though

A small but decent collection in actinic overnight trap in willows. Most of them seemed to be on this one egg box for whatever reason!
