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

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
