Third night of #MothNight 2022, took the trap across the country to friends' garden in Norfolk. Bit more variety of habitat, a nice bit of woodland, and a lot more moths

It’s the last afternoon of #MothNight 2022 - well worth looking for some day-flying beauties! Small Yellow Underwing (dwarfed by clover leaves), Pyrausta aurata, Celypha lacunana & Spindle Ermine Yponomeuta cagnagella larvae. Also saw Cauchas fibulella, a new species for me 😊

Micro-moth glitz ’n’ glamour✨- Brown China-mark (Elophila nymphaeata) found during the day today, next to a small pond. Its caterpillars are aquatic, feeding on pondweeds etc. These beauties will still be on the wing for #MothNight 8-10 July.

The moth ‘sugar’ I put out at the weekend may have been a washout for #MothNight but it’s now been discovered by the local Red Admirals - 4 together on the same patch at one point this afternoon. I reckon the wasps tipped them off...

This moth is more into camouflage, trying to blend into the vegetation. It is a Dingy Footman ,Eilema griseola. Its caterpillars are feeding on lichen. #MothNight

A few weeks ago, the fields and meadows were buzzing with Six-spot burnet moths , Zygaena filipendulae. While the adults are attracted to flowers like knapweed and scabious, the caterpillars are feeding on different species of the clover family. #MothNight

First thought it's another White Satin moth, but this was a Brown-tail moth , Euproctis chrysorrhoea. So called as the back end of its body is a chestnut brown colour. Their caterpillars feed mainly on oak, apple and similar trees. #MothNight

Not one of the colourful moths but just as stunning with its ghostly white colour is the White Satin Moth , Leucoma salicis . Found 2 male species, first one with an antennae missing. The caterpillars rely on Willow ,Poplar and similar trees. #MothNight
