Tues, 4/11 Sub-saharan air may reach the UK
Tues, 4/11
Weds, 5/11
Thurs, 6/11
From Sunday night (2/11) it may turn VERY interesting. Some of the charts for Tuesday - Thursday (4-6/11) in particular are mouth-watering, with the airstream tracking deep into Africa.
A long way off and subject to change of course. #teamoth

Maple Pug on the shop front this morning. And White-spotted Pug in the garden trap, but only a poor photograph of that. I think the Channel Islands Pug may still have been present, but it was too high up the wall to get a decent picture. VC25. #teamoth.

Southern Wainscot
Ear Moth species
Numbers and species (93) down on previous weeks last night in St Mellion, mainly due to a strong westerly wind at first.
Southern Wainscot and the first Ear Moth species taken here that looks to be one of the other species, possibly Saltern Ear, but it would need checking to confirm. #teamoth

A Small Marbled, viewed obliquely from the side, rests on a concrete step.
A Small Ranunculus, viewed from above, rests on a tightly woven grey fabric.
A Dingy Shears, viewed from above, rests on a grey-green egg box.
A Silky Wainscot, viewed from above, rests on a tightly woven grey fabric.
A wonderfully diverse 323/90 in the Upton garden trap this morning finally incl'd a quality migrant in the form of a much wanted (& beautifully marked) Small Marbled, with added value comprising Small Ranunculus, a brace of Dingy Shears, Silky Wainscot, & Festoon #TeaMoth @dorsetmoths.bsky.social

Bit of a ‘wow’ moment when I found this superb contrasting Spring Usher. Amazing to compare it to a second on in tonight, a beautifully subtle variety #norfolkmoths #teamoth
