Green-brindled Crescent (Allophyes oxyacanthae) - North Antrim - October 2026. Another attractive moth putting in it's first appearance over the weekend. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

Pleased to see two Kentish Choughs tumbling and falling in the breeze #Dovercastle today,and stumbled across a new #moth (for me)a Bloxworth Snout.On a chalk slope,what looks to me like Common Calamint,and a Slowworm sliding along the roadside. #Wildflowers #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

@andymus.bsky.social has pointed out that my "Oak Hook-tip" looks more like a Spiny Hook-tip, which I wasn't even aware of and is extremely rare. Bigger than an OHT with a grey cast to the wing and different markings near the hook. #teammoth #ukmoths

Just 17 species this morning little of note until the bottom of the last trap with a nice Vestal and a Merveille du Jour to save the day #teammoth

Euchromius ocellea was a nice surprise in my VC34 garden last night, all 4 Gloucestershire records seem to have been this year #teammoth

Another good trap despite the wind & rain, Green-brindled crescent, Rusty Dot Pearl and more Feathered Ranunculus, several Rush Veneer lots of Black Rustics too. #teammoth

While out looking for leafmines, I also managed to find a well-grown larva of Diurnea fagella on Beech. #teammoth @pmandrews1973.bsky.social

A leaf cone of a Caloptilia sp. found on Field Maple today. Possibly C. semifascia, I might have to rear it to confirm though. #teammoth @vc28nature.bsky.social

What absolutely wonderful traps last night in Marbury 28/62. It’s a toss up what was the most unexpected moth an L-album Wainscot (I got the 1st for Cheshire 2 years ago and this is the 3rd) or a Common Pug (Can’t find an October one in the last few years but haven’t gone all the way back) #teammoth

Another productive night in heavy rain. 28sp 59m. Best were singles of Scarce Bordered Straw and White-point, both goodies up here. Also C Nonpareil, 2 M du J, a late Green Carpet, 2 Dark Chestnuts, Turnip and Rush Veneer..and a host of autumn moths.. #teammoth

A really good night in St Mellion with 62 species noted. Although no scarcer migrants were captured I did end my 43 year long wait to catch a Golden Twin-spot (C. chalcites) in the UK. #teammoth

Along with a couple of Barred Sallows came this NFG #499 Sallow.
