Emperor moth to lure in the garden at 14:30 this afternoon
Stunning moths!
#norfolkmoths. #teammoths
A beautiful morning to go moth-trapping in the Botanic Gardens with the cherries in full bloom. Great to see some new students joining us too. 10 people, and lots of moths: Clouded drab, Hebrew characters, Common quakers, Lichen tortrix and even a Pine beauty #cubotanicgarden #moths #teammoths
Lovely day in the sun, with the first Brimstone on the Aubretia, and a Blossom Underwing to the light last night. #teammoths
Chuffed to bits to get this Yellow Horned last night - one I've been wanting! #teammoths
Spurred on by feeds for #norfolkmoths, #norfolkbirds I decided to experiment creating a feed for #cambsmoths - post with hashtags #cambsmoths #cambridgeshiremoths or #vc29moths should be included (except - I've never done this before, so... #teammoths #mothmatters)

Untold fun & games with epic tech fail (actually no fun, just games) across the last few days. Back down to somewhere adjacent to calm vibes now, so here's some moths from a milder Tuesday this week. Winter Moths & Mottled Umbers.

I gave up over a month ago but my mate Tony is keeping going and had a very suprising Dark Arches yesterday. #TeamMoths
My walk in to the city this morning took me past the building site whose night-lit fence panels have previously been good for moths & they didn't disappoint today, with at least 5 Winter moths & 1 lovely Mottled umber. #TeamMoths
A single moth in the trap last night, December moth

Not trapped for weeks so this Lifer courtesy of @nickpom9.bsky.social was a real shock . White-point. #TeamMoths
What a morning! Best nights sleep in weeks led me to a bird robbed trap, even still it was a pretty good trap! 13/7. Best had to be a very battered, worn out pink barred sallow nfy, next the winter moth nfy, beaded chestnut and white point made up the numbers #teammoths
It was a good night in my garden with a lovely Red-green Carpet and Merveille du Jour both staying outside the trap

Northern Deep-Brown Dart
was the highlight of the moth trap on Saturday night in our North East Essex garden on a windy night.

Only five moths for me this morning but three of them a bit late now - Swallow-tailed, Square-spot Rustic and Tachystola acroxantha #teammoths #VC55Moths
I just found this gem in my garden -Pale Tussock Moth caterpillar - Caliteara pudbunda #teammoths @willowglass12.bsky.social @belperbirder.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social
A longed-for moth to the 40w actinic last night, South-west Warks. #teammoths
Moth trap yesterday. Dusky Thorn survived the overnight predation of the Hornet but a few Underwing didn't! @willowglass12.bsky.social @belperbirder.bsky.social #teammoths
Scarce Bordered Straw moth, partially revealing its black-bordered hindwings from under its vaguely-marked beige forewings. Resting on a log
Helicoverpa armigera, known to some as Cotton Bollworm, Corn Ear Worm, Old World Bollworm, or Scarce Bordered Straw. New for the year in the garden here in Cambs, an hour or two after dusk 31st August.

Burnished Brass [Diachrysia chrysitis] with Parasitic Wasp takeover (I think). Interesting to watch. Any help with identification? Never seen this behaviour before. @norfolkmoths.bsky.social @timstrudwick.bsky.social

Beautiful Marbled (Eublemma purpurina) and what a stunning little moth.

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
