The first Lead-coloured Drab recorded in VC57 since 2021 was attracted to a garden moth trap overnight on 8th March 2026 at Cromford. Lead-coloured Drab have bipectinate antennae (meaning having two margins that are toothed like a comb), this helps to eliminate Clouded Drab, a confusion species. Lead-coloured Drab was once a common species in Derbyshire, this is only the seventh record since 2010.
