The 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.

A couple of Small Blood-vein Moths, quite a few Lesser Yellow Underwings and a couple of Centre-barred Sallows in the trap in Cheshire last night. Along with lots of Large Yellow Underwings & Square-spot Rustics. #teammoth #mothsmatter
Clifden Nonpareil in Billingham this morning with Silver Y for size comparison! VC66 #moths #teammoth #mothsmatter @teesbirds.bsky.social
My first Light Emerald of the year last night in the moth trap in Cheshire. #teammoth #mothsmatter
Setaceous Hebrew Character (Xestia c-nigrum) North Antrim. September 26. This can be a very common moth further south, but apparently, only recently arrived up here. #gcampbellphoto #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
Lydd on Sea VC15 an increase in numbers and species from previous nights here by the sea, resulting in 135 of 26.
The highlight was this “Green Version” of a Barred Red, possibly a migrant.
First trap for along time as I've been away. 20 species is a great return for september for me.
Amongst the usuals, the first Angle Shades for a long time and first Vestal.
Could be a bumper autumn! 🤞
I had this moth in the trap in Cheshire in early June a few years ago. Could anyone suggest an ID please. #teammoth #mothsmatter
Church Field, Slad nr Stroud last night 18 moths of 11 species for Stroud Wildlife Survey Group..and unusual night as Seth Lakeman was playing a secret gig next door...so we had a free concert as well
Lime-speck Pug (Eupithecia centaureata) North Antrim Sept 2026. First of the year earlier this week, but it wasn't in the mood for photos, so these are library images. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
The colder and quieter nights are drawing in as winter approaches. Only 38/14 in my latest trap but NFG Autumnal Rustic more than made up for the lack of numbers! Other good species were Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing and Acleris variegana
Merveille du Jour translates into "Wonder of the Day" and it certainly would be if it turns up in your moth trap this autumn. It feeds on ivy flowers and over ripe fruit, and is on the wing in September and October. #mothsmatter
Purple Toadflax has struggled a bit in this dry summer, but where it’s doing ok, Toadflax Brocade caterpillars are still doing well.
