Norfolk moths report Heath Rustic is normally reported around 6 times a year in the county. A real surprise to see it in my North Norfolk garden this morning with no heathland in the immediate vicinity. #mothsmatter

@steveormerod.bsky.socialThis v lively Merveille du Jour from last night was the earliest ever by 13 days in 14 years of trapping in our Cardiff Garden
@minifauna.bsky.socialWed was a nightmare, 110°F high / 84 low. think I had a touch of heat exhaustion, but put up the lights anyway.
Furcula cineroides, only 2nd showing this year, first time I’ve seen the underwing
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialA dozen species in the trap in Mid Cheshire this evening. It will be interesting to see what else turns up over night. This Yellow Shell was one of the first to arrive. #teammoth #mothsmatter
@shaneyoda82.bsky.social#teammoth amongst a minimum of 45 LYU, 2 Pine Carpet were NFG 🥳. Noah’s ark theme continued with 2 Angle Shades, 2 Com Marb Carpet, and 2 NFY Lunar U/W. Also Com Wainscot, Old Lady, Snout, and several wasps 🐝 Total of 70/12 #DERBYSHIRE VC57 #insects #MothsMatter
@crgulsvig.bsky.socialIt's that time again! Time to play "Moth, Or Sheepdog?"
(Or Yeti, or Random Cuddly Toy ... needs more thought before I trademark this one 🤣)
@crgulsvig.bsky.socialA lovely back-to-school shot for #MothFaceFriday
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialA few more from the trap in Cheshire last night, Oak Hook-tip, Grey Pine Carpet and Silver Y. #teammoth #mothsmatter
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialMainly Large Yellow Underwings and Square-spot Rustics in the trap overnight in Cheshire, but there were a few moths to add some colour and variety including this Angle Shades, Centre-barred Sallow and Common Wainscot. #teammoth #mothsmatter
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialRed-green Carpet moth in the trap last night in Cheshire. A definite sign of autumn. A cool night, but still quite a few moths around. #teammoth #mothsmatter
@wa-moths.bsky.socialOne of the drawbacks of being so woolly on a wet winter morning 🐛💧
A caterpillar we spotted recently on a cool winter’s morning in an area north of Perth. No idea what this guy is destined to metamorphose into 🦋🔎
@wa-moths.bsky.socialThe mystery of the missing Bogong moths as backyard moth traps fail (so far) to record any of the 14,000 moths tagged at the end of last summer 🔎🦋

@tillingtonchum.bsky.socialA Golden Twin-spot. A first for our garden. Soon after the pic was taken, it took off and headed straight the ‘Mönch’ to get a good fill of nectar. This takes our species count of visitors to this plant to 31.

@sciencebase.comThe mothing law of diminishing returns #teamMoth #mothsMatter
@martinefenn.bsky.socialAn Oak Hook-tip attracted near to the moth trap a couple of night’s ago #TeamMoth #MothsMatter
@sciencebase.comSo, this Golden Twin-spot ab. was my 40th NFG and 400th NFY of 2026 and was a county first and my first county first, I'm chuffed with that. Totally irrelevant to anyone else, but...
@crgulsvig.bsky.socialTime again to play Spot The Moth(s)™️!
@savebutterflies.bsky.socialThe Red Underwing (Catocala nupta) knows how to make a statement 🤩
Keep an eye out for this flashy moth in woodland, parkland, scrub, riverbanks and gardens.
