DERBYSHIRE MICRO MOTHS VC57 – Current species total for VC57 to February 2024 – 867.
The following is a photographic list of some of the Micro Moths that have been recorded in Derbyshire VC57. CLICK on the species below to take you to the Species Page, with Status in the County, ID Guide, and photographs.
MICRO MOTH SPECIES SO FAR PHOTOGRAPHED – 381 – A new addition to this list are photographs of the Mines of Leaf-miners, kindly supplied by Dave Evans.
The first number is the “new” decimal-style checklist number, corresponding to “A checklist of the Lepidoptera of the British Isles” by Agassiz, D.J.L., Beavan, S.D. & Heckford R.J. 2013, from now on referred to as the “2013 checklist”.The next sequence of numbers refer to the Bradley & Fletcher Checklist –
KEY TO COLOUR CODES:-
VIOLET NUMBER = SPECIES PHOTOGRAPHED / YELLOW = VAGRANT OR EXTINCT SPECIES / ORANGE = MIGRANT / GREEN = SIGNIFICANT RECORD / RED = RED DATA SPECIES / PURPLE = LEAF-MINER
