Hoorah !!! Mothing season has started and 1st out of the trap (literally) this Early Moth. A new one for me #moths #mothmatter #lifer #earlymoth #wintermoths #soitbegins #ukmoths #northeast

This Grey Shoulder-knot was the best of the 30 of 16 species recorded last night 16/10/25, at home in St Helens, the 22nd record for our area. #mothmatter #StHelensBirding

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

August was a great month for moths from my #SouthNorwichGarden #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #Photography #NorfolkMoths

The small ranunculus is a very localised moth in #Norfolk. This one was taken from my #SouthNorwichGarden last night, 21st August 2025. #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

Still shaking. Clifden Nonpareil in the trap this morning… managed some record shots on the phone and it then escaped as we tried to usher it into a takeaway tub!! VC22 #MothMatter #TeamMoth

Scorched Carpet moth

Chinese Character moth

Black Arches moth

Flame Carpet moth

Nothing rare but none commonly seen in our trap #moths #MothMatter #ento

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

Hi Jim ( @norfolkmoths.bsky.social ) would you be happy with this as Yponomeuta irrorella? From my #SouthNorwichGarden last night, 21st June 2025. #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #Photographs #NorfolkMoths

@dorsetmoths.bsky.social #mothmatter Some of the best moths from last night. Peppered Moth, Leopard Moth and a Elephant Hawk moth

I hope all are getting some great moths and on the look out for potential migrants. This is a male four-spotted footman from my #SouthNorwichGarden on 14th June 2025. #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #Photographs #NorfolkMoths

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...

11/7 in the traps lastnight including my second chocolate tip! (Still calming down in the fridge) nfy v-pug, rough-winged conch and May highflier that flew off when I opened up the trap…. Great prom, Muslin, nut-tree made up the rest #teammoth #mothmatter

A lovely male emperor moth in to the lure in my #SouthNorwichGarden at 15:30h, today, 11th April 2024. #Moths #Moffs #MothMatter #Wildlife #Photographs #NorfolkMoths

The Vapourer (Orgyia antiqua) North Antrim. Great to see this moth in all it's stages during the year. The larvae (image 1), the adult male (2), the flightless female (3) and eggs (4). #moths #mothmatter #teammoth @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social

Slower night on the trap than expected - conditions looked alright to my untrained eye!
A Green-brindled Crescent saving a rather dull trapping session.

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
