A, very late, ermine from last night, 1st October 2025. @norfolkmoths.bsky.social - is it worth doing anything with, with regards it being such a late record? #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #Photography #NorfolkMoths

An absolute bruiser of a moth, a great brocade from my #SouthNorwichGarden last night, 21st August 2025. It was about the size of house brick. :-) #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #Photography #NorfolkMoths

A Maidens Blush. The brown blotches show it's a second generation moth. Its offspring will overwinter as a pupae on a fallen oak leaf - plenty to choose from here. #Teammoth #Mothmatter

This one from my #SouthNorwichGarden last night, 17th July 2025 has me a little stumped. Probably obvious. Small size, similar to a small wainscot but isn't. Any thoughts? #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #NorfolkMoths

Chinese Character Cilix glaucata North Antrim July 2025. Great to see a few of these little moths this week. This is another moth which imatates a bird dropping to avoid being eaten. #moths #mothmatter #teammoths @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

Moth trap last night National Trusts Tinkley Gate

The provisional list for the night was 383 moths from 65 species. 11 of these were large Hawk-moths, 8 of them being Privet Hawk-moths

We got to meet lots of people and tell them about the benefit of moths and how to help them

Eyed Hawk-moth showing its underwings which are reddish with blue eye-spots, sitting on the bark of an apple tree.

Most spectacular moth of the morning was this fresh Eyed Hawk-moth. The forewings provide excellent camouflage on tree bark, but when it's disturbed it flashes its hindwings which have bluish 'eyes' on a pinkish-red background. Probably breeding on our Apple trees...

Slower night on the trap than expected - conditions looked alright to my untrained eye!

Rush Veneer moth, Westray, Orkney Isles, 3 May 2024

And we have migrant leps too! Red Admirals and Silver Ys started arriving overnight and I trapped a Silver Y and a Diamond-backed Moth last night too. And today when birding Pierowall village, I found this Rush Veneer flying along a stone wall! #TeamMoth #MothMatter
