Top view of a large moth whose wings are a bright lemon yellow with a variable black serrated line near the bottom and with each forewing having two black spots.
Anthela inornata
We are seeing quite a few of these lovely moths at the minute.
They are quite large, with a wingspan of 6-7cm, and can be seen in early autumn in Western Australia and South Australia

LBAM i'm taking that.. 😀 #teammoth
It's 13°C, so of course I've put the trap out! Not much about at the moment, just an A. heracliana and an ichneumon wasp, which I photographed as it moved up the wall. But the night is still young. 🤞

I don't get the Water Carpet every year so nice to get one in reasonable condition last night #teammoth
The second Acleris cristana of 2026 was, typically, very different from the other one (right hand pix). Tufted Tortrix really is an appropriate common English name 👌
Super micro this...

Pale Pinion was NFY this morning ~ we'd been hoping for own this week but the weather has been bobbins for mothing really ~ so this was a nice surprise today. Not a frequent moth here (average of 3 or 4 a year), bar 2022 when we had 8.

Glutton for punishment, first time for a few weeks and clouds disappearing, got to be in it to win it. #teammoth
Water Carpet?
Brindled Beauty
Pale Pinion
On the previous night in West Dorset we got (Water Carpet?) high on a wall, Pale Pinion and a nice fresh Brindled Beauty. Lovely to see good numbers of moths even with the cold nights.

Meal Moth
Fellow Meal Moths. If you’re like me, cosmopolitan moths just trying to enjoy some milled grains in peace, then you must be tired of being shunned from the pantry. Join me in fighting this injustice by laying eggs where we please. Who’s in?

A female Belted Beauty moth on Barra today in a typical location: a foot above the ground on the sunny side of a fence post on the machair. #teammoth
Brindled Beauty
A slight, very slight, improvement in the #teammoth trap last night. Best of the bunch was this Brindled Beauty. Only the 3rd I’ve trapped.
Hopefully tonight will see a further improvement…
Tuesday 31st March
Finally, my first March Moth of the year. Found on one of the windows of Tesco (Maryhill) on my way to jump the bus to Clydebank, this morning.

Spring has finally arrived, with my first Emperor Moth of the year a fleeting visitor to the briefly deployed Upton garden lure this afternoon #TeamMoth @dorsetmoths.bsky.social
Latest Trev Pendleton. You really need to subscribe if you haven’t already. Here interesting about Pale Pinion. One I get in our Garden reasonably regularly #teammoth youtu.be/EH_DBtv42Ws?...
Archinemapogon yildizae emerged today from Birch Polypore collected near Aviemore last month. First time I've recorded this attractive scarce and localised Highland speciality #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social #nature #cairngorm #scotland #wildlife #macro
#teammoth Last night's Early Grey, and a silvery-grey Twin-spotted Quaker.
Also Chestnut, C.Q., S.Q., H. Character, C. Drab, Early Reveller, Agonopterix h/c, 2 Black Sexton Beetles and some micro caddis.
#teammoth 49 of 11 last night in VC80 - the wind dropped just in time! My 2nd Water Carpet and 3rd Early Grey (3rd also for VC apart from the previously known population way down on the southern border with Cumbria) and 7 Brindled Pugs ranging from large and dark to small and pale.
Hi mothy mates! This fairweather moth-er is back in business. Happy morning puzzling over identification. Can't work this one out. I think it is a dark, and battered, Frosted Green. V furry thorax. Any ideas? #Teammoth #mothsmatter
