If you are looking for a gift for a feisty and literate young family member this Christmas, then I can recommend Lily's Monster by Cliff McNish.

The Suffolk CMR wants to record this VC25 moth (recorded by me as B. adustella) as 'a clear female vittata' on account of the black shoulders. Is this a new criterion? The Suffolk website still firmly says 'gen. det.' Infrequently recorded in the county although I see a lot of 'probables'. #teammoth

A bit worn in the VC25 garden trap, but I think this is a NFY Red-line Quaker. On the store-front were 2 Turnip Moths (only 3 previous records for Suffolk on this date) and a female Winter Moth. #teammoth.

Much to my surprise, 8 moths in the VC25 trap last night and 5 more on the store window. Yellow-line Quaker, Large Yellow Underwing caterpillar, December Moth and 2 very late Double-striped Pugs (only 1 previous record on this date for Suffolk). #teammoth.

I find it very difficult to photograph these little chaps, but this is certainly Phyllonrycter platani/Plane leaf-miner. Not recorded as adults in Suffolk on this date, but I think simply overlooked. On the store window VC25. Only B. adustella in the trap. #teammoth.

For those cold, rainy nights where trapping is not ideal, why not listen about trapping instead!
