The Streamer (Anticlea derivata)
To say last night's catch was a disappointment would be an understatement, but it was nice to see this Streamer at rest on the fence next to the trap. New for the year.

A little bit of colour in this morning's moth trap. Only my second Early Thorn (and first of the spring generation) and one of two Frosted Green, more regular in the garden but great to see after none in '25. #norfolkmoths #mothsmatter #teammoth #moths #bugsky

Waved Umber (Menophra abruptaria)
Lydd on Sea VC15, another chilly windy night by the sea, resulted in 8 of 5sp.
The highlight and New for Year, was this Waved Umber, hiding behind the trap at the base of the fence.

A Pale Prominent moth, well disguised as a piece of broken wood, sitting on a wooden surface
A wonderfully vibrant Red-green Carpet moth, intricately patterned in shades of green with brownish patches and wiggly black lines.
A Brindled Beauty moth with buff-coloured wings striped with black, and feathered antennae.
Despite a coolish night, a few more species in the moth trap this morning including a Brindled Beauty, two very fresh Red-green Carpets and, most surprisingly, our earliest ever Pale Prominent, all new for the year.

Four Early Grey moths
Two of four Brindled Beauty. The other two flew away.
Just 10/4 here in North Derbyshire last night (31st March) under a very bright moon when I went to noddy land. Nothing new but 4 Brindled Beauty (2 of which didn’t like the paparazzi), 4 Early Grey, and one each Small & Common Quaker. #TeamMoth #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #DERBYSHIRE

Spring moth trapping. King's College meadow is full of Cowslips and Snakeeshead fritillaries. Only one moth today, the 'local' Agonopterix purpurea but there were 7 Marbled beauty caterpillars on the white wall behind the trap (they feed on lichen). #mothsmatter

These caught my eye on a walk this morning while walking up Skelding Hill near Sheringham in light rain. Brown-tail moth caterpillars. #mothsmatter

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

Another slow moth spell, so here is an Oleander hawk moth I caught in the South Wales valleys in October 2014..

The first Nut-tree Tussock of the year - and the earliest here in 14 years of trapping. More typical for April.
Colocasia coryli: one of the instances where an animal accidentally has the same genus name as a group of plants.
“coryli” refers to Hazel - one of the larval food plants

On our walk yesterday, in amongst a glorious sea of Blackthorn blossom, we spotted an Oak Eggar caterpillar.

An Orange Underwing moth, showing off its bright orange hindwings while feeding on primroses
The Orange Underwing (Archiearis parthenias) flies around the leafless canopy of mature birch trees on sunny, still days in early spring 🌳
They rarely descend low enough for close inspection, so binoculars are a must!

#TeamMoth I’ve not had any opportunity to trap since 23/24th but in the meantime I’ve learnt a little from the more experienced moth-ers and stocked up on a couple of supplies 🤪😉 #MothsMatter
