I've seen my first Chrysoesthia sexguttella mines recently on Teesside, at Ormesby Beck, Saltern Wetlands and Saltholme. This one, on fat hen, collected 30.6.26, vacated the mine two days later, pupated and emerged today. A good looking moth (and hard to photograph) @teesbirds.bsky.social #teammoth

I can’t quite believe this but I think this is Enolmis acanthella that was in my trap in Dunmow, Essex overnight. ObsID suggests so and a check of Lepiforum backs that up. Apparently expanding its range in Europe but maybe the first UK record if the ID is right? @migrantmothuk.bsky.social #teammoth
