Can this little beauty from last night's trap in south Norfolk be identified to species? I think it is Parornix

Highlights from a twin actinic in Norwich last night suggest some dispersal: the garden's 2nd Marbled Clover (the smallest I've seen: that's my little fingernail for comparison), Dark Sword-grass and 4 Silver Y. #teammoth #migrantmoth #MuchAdoAboutMothing @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

@vannabartlett.bsky.social & I looked in vain for @norwichbirder.bsky.social's bee today but found several Large Scabious Mining Bees (Andrena hattorfiana) and plenty of Scabious Longhorns (Nemophora metallica) as well as various butterflies, bumblebees and hoverflies.

Loads of these outrageous longhorn moths (Nemophora metallica I think) on the old railway line in Narborough, Norfolk earlier this week #ukwildlife #TeamMoth

Another completely unexpected moth in the trap a couple of nights ago: V-moth! Red listed: Endangered. We are lucky, in Norfolk, to get a few records a year #norfolkmoths #teammoth

I have been keeping an eye out for Eudemis porphyrana (Apple Marble) ever since @akkwildlife caught #Norfolk's 1st in 2022. Bleary-eyed, brain-befuddled checking of traps at 04h30 before all-day surveys produced a candidate, which I fortunately potted. 4th for the county! #teammoth #mothing

My 600th Norfolk macro moth
Many, many thanks to Craig for the share and organisation

I say 600th, one of those is a still unidentified adventive, so I suppose it’s officially 599! I wonder what my official 600th will be?!

I’m doing a tidy and need to free up space. I have spare pots, tubing for pooters if you want a longer collection tube, and I’m able to knock up about 10 pooters if anyone is interested. All at cost and postage as I need them gone. The pooters work and tested last night. DM is interested #teammoth

Day flying (primarily Breckland) specialities - one of which has come to light in my garden. Speckled Yellow (I still end up calling this Speckled Wood, occasionally!), Clouded Buff, Small Yellow Underwing (a macro smaller than the micro, Mint Moth!) & Burnet Companion #norfolkmoths #teammoth
