Stormy conditions last night let the moth trap surrounded by wet egg boxes, but inside was this

| Endothenia nigricostana |
Times move on quickly sometimes in moth distribution but East of Scotland website has this in the micros distribution maps
It's definitely a good one, regardless
New additions to Dalgety Bay, both from Downing Point:
Pammene fasciana (Acorn Piercer)
Anarsia spartiella (Obscure Snout)
Both are moths with few records in Fife, so both welcome additions (and both new to me too)
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.
