Phlyctaenia perlucidalis
Taken at home last night, a reasonably fresh example of Phlyctaenia perlucidalis. This is a Pyralid which is expanding its range from the Norfolk fens and the SE with recent records in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire so I would expect that there have been records in southern Derbyshire but a record for the Peak District seems more unlikely. It appears to be a moth of the fens so I can only assume this individual is on its way somewhere else!
Just heard from Simon Roddis that he caught perlucidalis a couple of years ago in Darley Dale and Brian Statham has also taken it in Clough Wood so it appears to be scarce rather than rare.
