Acleris bergmanniana June 2025. Lovely little moth found at dusk on the local cliffs this year, a new site. The larvae feeds on rose species. #moths #micromoths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
Psyche casta Common Bagworm Co Armagh, June25. Hopefully correct on the id of this one from during the summer. A new species for me. The larvae of this moth constructs a case with vegetation. #moths #micromoths #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

Found a Crescent Tortrix (Epinotia bilunana) below birches in Upshire, Essex yesterday. A common species but a new one for me. #EssexWildlife #MicroMoths
Argyresthia spinosella

This very wee #moth was quite striking and new for me. I'm trusting Obs on this as Argyresthia spinosella. #micromoths #teammoth
A close up of a Plum Tortrix moth sitting on an indoor window frame. The forewing is blackish and leaden bluish grey, sparsely speckled whitish, the outer edge of the dark basal patch angled outwards near the middle, the apical third whitish, mottled silvery greyish and dark brown; there are two blackish dots placed beyond the angle of the outer edge of the dark basal patch, and dark brown quarter circle mark at the apex.
I thought this micro-moth looked good for Plum Tortrix, Hedya pruniana. I'm in awe at the attention to detail in the Sterling, Parsons, & @rlewington2.bsky.social Bloomsbury Micro Moth guide & at the knowledge that Martin Corley put in to the keys on this guide book. #Moths #MicroMoths #Leptidoptera
this tiny moth has a wing span of about 18mm. In this pic the wings are closed. Its wing is pale yellow at the top with a turquoise swirl on it. The yellow gradually becomes gold then 2 thick white bands outlined in black separate the gold from the tip which is a shimmering gold with black stipes. The moth is sat on the end of a leaf

Pretty cool little species - Mompha locupletella. Swept from the duneslacks of White Park Bay.
Mines on Willowherbs so should really be plentiful but this was the first time I've come accross the adult.

I had a little bit of (lure) FUN y’day afternoon and this sp. Pammene whateveritisiana has taken my garden species count to 100!
There were 3, caught 2.
Pammene albuginana says ObsID but could feasibly be argyrana I reckon…top one is a bit smaller. Any suggestions appreciated #teammoth #micromoths
#micromoths Micropterix calthella, on Wild strawberry I think.
Pammene giganteana/Early Oak Gall Moth to SKI pheromone today in the garden, NFY. Nice to get a moth at last ! #moths #micromoths #teammoth

Looking at the section that had been mostly cut on Friday. Tony brush cutting & Mike on fires. Clear up duty begins!
Afterwards the area is now cleared & raked. The fire just fluently smoking. This section is now ready for young Aspen to naturally colonise & create habitat for the micro moths.
Today we were working on a coppice plot at Oversley wood - this is specifically to help 2 rare micro moths that feed on Aspen Sciota hostilis & Phyllonorycter sagitella. Before & after pics from today - most of the cutting at been done on Friday. #micromoths @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social #volunteer
