Pyrausta cingulata - Longstone Edge
Whilst photographing the Wall butterflies yesterday I came across a single Pyrausta cingulata. This nationally scarce moth inhabits chalk and limestone hills and cliffs so the habitat was ideal. The wingspan is only 15mm so it is tiny.
I've included the records published on the National Biodiversity Network website which gives an indication of its national distribution. I managed a couple of record shots before it flew and I lost it.
There are past records from the Derbyshire Dales such as Miller's, Lathkill and Cressbrook.
