Perhaps the highlight of Sunday's visit to Ashberry Pastures was a longhorn micro-moth found low down in vegetation. Its small size drew my attention and I carefully potted it to photograph it in less windy conditions. It soon became apparent that it was Adela croesella a scarce moth in Yorkshire, similar to the more common Nemophora degeerella. It has been accepted from the photos by the County Moth Recorder Harry Beaumont.
