I wasn’t going to put the moth trap again tonight having only had 5 of 3 last night. However an RDP to the kitchen window has changed my mind! #teammoth #migrantmothuk #mothsmatter #gardenwildlife #HantsMoths

My first garden record for Red Underwing (Catocala nupta) .. would have been easier to identify before it (presumably) got eaten by a #bat ? #teammoth #gardenwildlife SE Hampshire VC11 🙏 to #HantsMoths member for confirming ID

A "lifer" for me in the garden actinic trap last night, a Striped Hawk-moth, in very good condition as was the Small Marbled, a moth I had not seen before this year's influx. #teammate #hantsmoths

Mothing continues to be good here in S.Hants, with Lunar-spotted Pinion NFG last night, but top spot went to the ladybird Calvia decemguttata aka the Jersey Ladybird, I got one a couple of weeks ago but it escaped before I got a picture. #teammoth #Hantsmoths

Having yesterday bemoaned my failure to see a Lappet for many, many years, I caught one today! A wonderful beast indeed, but sort of eclipsed by this rather tatty Dark Umber, which is strangely very infrequently recorded in SW Hants and the first that I can ever recall seeing. #teammoth #Hantsmoths

An unexpected Flame Wainscot (unless I am mistaken - it has been known!) trapped on the S. Hants coast last night, could be a migrant, but there was also suitable habitat nearby, so you never know. Very rarely recorded in Hants with just one this century as far as I can see. #teammoth #Hantsmoths
