This is coming up as Acleris umbrana, can anyone help on this one please. Would be quite a record if it is ? @lesevanshill.bsky.social is photo good enough, I'll go and see if it's still there and pot it. #teammoth - ThreadSky

Definitely looks like it, well done!
Think it might be new for Staffs?

Thanks Steve, That's what made stop and go, err ooh better check. Not many anywhere on the west mids moths. Certainly none showing for staffs 😁

Obviously there might be some 2024 records yet to be verified, but it’s certainly a species on the move!
Nice one 👍

Cheers Steve,Yes looks like they are up to 2023 so may not be 1st but its definitely made my day And checked the lure this morning and got a giganteana too. Things are definitely slow going but that's still 3 new park records already this year 😊

Yes, I would be well chuffed with it 👍

Ah nice one! I’ve had my MOL lure out all week but no luck with giganteana yet.

Looks good.

Yep, I'm happy with that one, Steve. There's a similar, worn specimen on the West Midlands Moths website taken by Patrick Clement. 👍
