Overnight on 15th June 2026 Dave Evans was moth trapping at Darwin Forest, near Matlock. Whilst processing the moth trap on the morning of 16th June 2026, Dave discovered a new micro moth species for VC57 Derbyshire, Cydia conicolana (Pine Nut Moth). The moth is known as a local and nationally scarce resident across parts of Britain particularly across southern and southeastern England. A photograph of the individual is shown below. Note the distinctive five white markings along the costa.
