Powdered Quaker
15/04/26. A slightly more encouraging 27/7 but it still seems a bit on the slow side. Another Angle Shades, DSP and our second Powdered Quaker of the year. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Angle Shades
14/04/26. 20/6. Nothing new, nothing spectacular except maybe this welcome Angle Shades. #teammoth #norfolkmoths & possibly #MigrantMothUK
Oof!!
Brindled Beauty
Early Grey
13/04/26. 16/8. Nothing new but a Brindled Beauty and Early Grey broke the monotony... #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Powderd Quaker
12/04/26. A slightly better 15/6 that included a shockingly pink tinged Powdered Quaker which was NFG. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Mullien
Silver Y
11/04/26. A rather poorly 7/4! Still, the crazy looking Mullein and Silver Y were NFG. The rest is just gravy... #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Pale Prominent
Muslin Moth
09/04/26. 19/7. Roasting day, chilly old night. Pale Prominent & Muslin Moth both NFG. 2 Frosted Green. 1st Orange tip butterfly in the garden. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

08/04/26. 50/14. Superb little 'Mini-Merv'-Lichen Tortrix (Acleris literana) a lifer and NFG. Our second Blossom Underwing was a bit unexpected. Frosted Green & Brindled Beauty best among the expected dross... ๐ #teammoth #norfolkmoths
2023's Streamer
07/04/2. 25/6. Elation quickly turned to utter disappintment as our first Streamer for three years deftly exited stage left before the photo shoot. So here's one we prepared 3 years ago... ๐ช #teammoth #norfolkmoths
1 of 10 Early Moth trapped overnight.
06/04/26. 27/5. More a monochrome event than a beige one with a PB of 10 Early Grey! 8 HC, 6 Clouded Drab, 2 Common & 1 Small Quaker. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
04/04/26. 12/5 of the usual 'beige' from garden that looked like a tornado had struck! 5 Early Oak Gall Moth (Pammene giganteana) to FUN lure during the afternoon long before it hit. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Frosted Green
03/04/26. 21/5. Frosted Green NFG. 7 HC, 7 Clouded Drab, 5 Common Quaker and a Brindled Buff (Agonopterix arenella). #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Sure. 13/1. Hebrew Character... ๐๐๐
Suffered the same anquish when adding an additional 35W blacklight bulb whilst changing the (Franken)trap from gloss white to matt black. Needn't have worried... I hope ๐ค
02/04/26. 13/1! Hebrew Character... ๐ฅฑ #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Brindled Beauty
01/04/26. April already and 16/2. Brindled Beauty NFG. Red-eyed Buff (Agonopterix ocellana) & Oak Beauty best of the rest. First Holly Blue in the garden this afternoon. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Thanks all... ๐
Thanks...
Unidentified, fairly nondescript micro moth.
Ruby Tiger
31/03/26. Just 4/4. Also one that remains as yet unidentified (image below - any takers)? Highlight was a wholly unexpected Ruby Tiger resting in the greenhouse! ๐ฎ #teammoth #norfolkmoths @mothiduk.bsky.social
Pretty rubbish here in NE Norfolk so far. Bit of a moon out there tonight... ๐๐
About the long and the short of it... ๐
Brindled Pug
30/03/26. 14/6. Finally something new! Brindled Pug NFG. Early Reveller (Diurnea fagella), Common Brindled Brown (Agonopterix heracliana) and a Chestnut amongst the chaff... ๐
#teammoth #norfolkmoths
Oak Eggar Caterpillar
Oak Eggar Caterpillar
A quiet night with just 13/4 involving the usual Drab/Hebrew/Quaker combo. Best find this afternoon was this Oak Eggar crawler... #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Wasn't expecting much to be honest as it was so cold and clear. Pretty shocked with the result...
Blossom Underwing
Pale Pinion
Double-striped Pug
