I’ve given up hoping to see something new at the moment. Just recording.. anyway, the Powdered Quaker was the best of 6:3 from last night
#teammoth

The first Cameraria ohridella of the season spotted this afternoon on one of hospital Chestnuts. In four months the trees will look like Autumn came early
#teammoth

And last year was a ‘good’ year, or was it just average. I haven’t been at it long enough to know really 🤔

😟

Compare and contrast #teammoth

You’re right and I guess the book got them mixed up 😳

I’ll have another look. Its head was in the sporangia going nom nom… but Clive, my book says filicivora has a black head? 🧐

Thanks for reminding me to check the Hart’s Tongue around my pond. Is this it?

Same here… it’s a bit odd, but not complaining… yet 😬

Brimstone

Shuttle-shaped Dart

These two were NFY but low numbers again this morning, just 10:6…
Some okay temps here but it’s been consistently windy since the start of this month if that’s got anything to do with it.
0 micros apart from a couple of LBAMs in two weeks
It has to get better 🤞🏼 #teammoth

Don’t tell anyone but I think I had one a couple of weeks ago and dismissed it in my fog of sleep brain as a large Small Quaker 🤓

He has fabulous eyebrows

There’s always an ‘orrible hairy fly 👍🏼

Water Carpet, Lampopteryx suffumata

Blossom Underwing, Orthosia miniosa

Water Carpet and Blossom Underwing- both new for the garden. Water Carpet refused to leave the pot & then of course, suddenly flew off… 🙄
Not many records for Blossom Underwing in the Stroud area #teammoth

Yet another windy night 😑 but at least it was warmer. Just 7 moths of 5 species, NFYs were Least Black Arches and Pale Mottled Willow from the trap last night #teammoth

It reminds me of Prochoreutis myllerana but it’s obviously not gonna be that.. nice moth though

At first I thought it was a washed out Shoulder-stripe… then I thought Yellow-barred Brindle… and then I realised I’d never seen it before. Lol
Seraphim, Lobophora alterata, was hiding out in the garden brolly #teammoth

Rescued from the pooch, a Rose Chafer none the worse for its encounter. Gorgeous creature #beetles #invertebrates #summer?! 🤪

I’d say Common too I think. It peaks May/June but they’re out in v small numbers from March according to my sources 😉

Anticlea derivata, the violet tinted Streamer, on 🌳 bark

These are having a good year, I never ‘ad so many (2) 🤭 #teammoth

👍🏼 Looks like a Small ‘un John

8th April…NFYs Purple Thorn. V-pug. Oak-tree Pug. #teammoth

Aw dear Dave, 😕 sending bestest wishes and hope things work out okay. Come back soon!

A garden record! Lovely stuff, well done

Jeez…he’s outstayed his welcome for sure

I did the happy dance trying to catch it 😅
Umm, chips n egg lure is up… how long before you get here?

Thanks, ‘twas a lovely thing to see

What are you actually sacrificing though…Is it brain cells ? 🤪

Sure, I imagine if there are plenty of females around the heath, the rubber bung signal would be lost amongst the others? 🤔

Cheers,🍸
It truly is a beaut!
