A close up of a most magnificent Moth, a Privet Hawk-moth. #MothMonday #teammoth

A photo of a gray, brown, and black from the front side as it rests on light blue painted wood. The moth has 2 gray horn-like appendages that curve upwards from its face. Slender brown antennae emerge from just above it's brown/black eyes and are held close to its wings. Its legs are slender and are banded black and gray. Its wings are tan with brown and white bands.

A quick scan of the news once again shows that more #MothMonday content is needed.

This #moth friend is something in genus Pococera.

A photo of a gray, black, and tan Carpenterworm Moth resting on the side of some weather worn wood. The moth has black eyes and antennae. It's legs are gray with black bands. Its forebody is gray and speckled tan. The wings, seen edge-on, are grayish tan with black net-like reticulation. The very plump abdomen, grayish tan, can just be seen under the wings.

A photo of the Carpenterworm Moth from above it's arrowhead-like shape is more visible from this angle. The black-net-like reticulation of the wings is very visble as are the curls of the antennae. The grayish tan abdomen peeks out from under the wings. A very small grayish moth is to the Carpenterworm Moth's side and a tiny black fly is to the upper left of the frame.

Here are some better photos of the Carpenterworm Moth, Prionoxystus robiniae, which visited last night.😁. This was a rather large (2 inches/ 5.08 cm) moth.

Early Grey (Xylocampa areola).

Trapping is still in its dull phase. I ended up potting this Early Grey simply to have something to photograph after finishing work.

It is #MothMonday again! I post a lot of awesome moth photos, but this is a reminder that for every awesome shot I get, I have many, MANY like this 😂😂😂

Lint from the washing machine or moth eggs? 🤔

Female Small Eggar (Eriogaster lanestris) moths have a tuft of grey scales or 'hairs' at the end of their abdomen which they use to cover the egg batches, protecting them from any potential predators. 🛡️

A photo of a narrow bodied moth from above. The moth has black head, antennae, wings, and legs which shimmer with a blue iridescence. The wings are the iridescent black along the edges, but clear in the middle. The abdomen of the moth is bright orange red with some iridescence. The end of the moth's tail has a fan-like spray of iridescent black scales whch looks something like a shrimp's tail.

A photo of the moth from the side showing the iridescent black legs, antennae, wing edges, and forebody. The orange red abdomen can be seen through the transparent wing parts.

I really should not have looked at the news 😐

We need bonus #MothMonday content. This ridiculous friend with the shrimp booty and the clear wings is the Pecan Bark Borer Moth, Synanthedon geliformis, a clearwing moth, the #Sesiidae

Was going to repost some trump rubbish but then found #MothMonday and this beautiful little beast. Much better for the timeline and soul.

A photo of an arrowhead-shaped yellow moth with yellow markings from above. The moth's legs and head are black. Its foreword part of the wings are bright yellow with a central black stripe with a stripe on either side. The rear part of the wings has a U-shaped black line, and in the middle of that are three rows of tiny black spots on a slightly more pale yellow background.

A photo of the moth from the side showing that black lines and dots shine with a shimmery iridescence.

The moth resting on my finger with its wings spread, revealing that the hind wings are black with a shining gold iridescence.

Happy #MothMonday. This amazing #Moth is the Hieroglyphic Moth, Diphthera festiva, the only species in its genus and subfamily.

How it feels trying to make the most of the sunshine before it disappears again 💨

Early spring blooms provided a much-needed energy boost for this Humming-bird Hawk-moth in Lincolnshire during the warm weather earlier this month.

A micro-moth with dark brown wings with two creamy-yellow stripes horizontally across the middle and a series of short creamy-yellow stripes along the wing-edges. The moth is perched on a green leaf and is casting a shadow.

This rather dapper moth is the Liquorice Piercer (Grapholita pallifrontana), our Species of the Month. ✨

The Liquorice Piercer is so named because its caterpillars pierce Wild Liquorice seed pods.

A photo of a brown and tan moth from the front as it rests on a light blue wood surface, some leaves are in the background out of focus. The moth has large feathery brown antennae. It's face and undersides are dark brown, the upper surface of the wing, just visible, is tan with brown and black areas and 2 white stripes along the leading edge just visible.

A photo of the moth from above, the moth's spread wings are mostly dark brown with some tan towards the front, and a wavy tan line along the rear of both sets of wings. There is also a wavy black line and areas of darker scales. Along the front of the forewings there are 4 irregular spots of white.

Today's #MothMonday goodness is late as it was also #MigraineMonday (Am better now thanks to meds). This is the Oak Beauty #Moth, Phaeoura quernaria. A first sighting for me! 😁

Found in our garden this morning. It’s REALLY big.

Grey Shoulder-knot (Lithophane ornitopus). NFG.

After leaving a light on in my greenhouse all night, I found a Grey Shoulder-knot NFG on the wall this morning. Since there isn't any woodland close to where I live, I assumed that I wouldn't get this moth. It's always nice to get a new tick.

Happy #MothMonday! Looking like a butterfly at rest, the Early Thorn (Selenia dentaria) flies after dusk and is common and well distributed throughout the British Isles. 🦋

Look out for it this month!

Oak Beauty moth resting on a lichen-covered branch

The Oak Beauty (Biston strataria) certainly lives up to its name 😍

An unmistakable moth of early spring, they can be found in mature oak woodland and even gardens where broadleaved trees such as oak, hazel and elm grow.

A Satellite moth was new for the year in the garden last night plus the moth lamp also attracted two rather smart springtails (Orchesella villosa) @savebutterflies.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social @bnascience.bsky.social #MothMonday

A photo of the front of a chonky rust orange moth resting on a pine needle. The moth's body and legs are covered in rusty red fur=like scales. Large yellow, feathery antennae emerge from just above it's dark eyes. It's wings are held behind the head at an acute angle and have dark leading edges and are orange behind. A small leafhopper is seen resting on the right wing's leading edge.

Happy #MothMonday from this ridiculously delightful Tuliptree Silk Moth, Callosamia angulifera, who visited me in 2024. Also note the tiny leafhopper friend resting on the right side wing's leading edge.
