@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialWith heavy rain in mid Cheshire early in the evening and more forecast for the early hours I nearly didn't put the trap out. Glad I did, my first November Moth along with five Black Rustic, a Merveille du Jour, a Turnip & a couple of Shuttle-shaped Darts. #teammoth #mothsmatter
@cornishca.bsky.socialAlso these species NFY for me

@gcampbellphoto.bsky.socialFeathered Thorn (Colotois pennaria) - North Antrim - October 2026. This beautiful moth of autumn began to appear in numbers at the weekend. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
@allthewayholmes.bsky.socialAethes Smeathmanniana latest county record by 5 days, Green Brindled Crescent and Scarce Bordered Straw in Billingham VC66 last night. @teesbirds.bsky.social #teammoth #mothsmatter #moths
@steveormerod.bsky.socialThe Satellite. Last caught here in February reflecting the adult’s overwintering life cycle.
Has partly carnivorous larvae
Eupsilia: ‘truly bare’ from the smooth patch (stigma) on the forewing which has no scales
transversa: marks across the wings
@gcampbellphoto.bsky.socialGrey Shoulder-knot (Lithophane ornitopus) North Antrim Oct 2026. Looking like it could be a good year for this scarce moth locally. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
@shaneyoda82.bsky.social#teammoth 24/11 here in North Derbyshire. 8 Box, 2 Black Rustic, 1 SMW, Small Dusty Wave, 2 Lunar UW. NFY was a Blair’s Shoulder Knot. And then possibly 2 NFG 🥳…..with…I ‘think’ Beaded Chestnut and November Moth. #DERBYSHIRE #MothsMatter #moths #insects.
@dku1000.bsky.socialThe highlight of Saturday's daytime moth visit to Clare was the discovery of the leaf mines of Phyllonorycter medicaginella (Medick Leaf-miner), a recently established resident and a species new to Suffolk. Spotted on a Melilot species by our eagle-eyed CMR. #mothsmatter
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialI had this moth in the trap in mid Cheshire last night. I thought it must have been a Lunar Underwing until closer inspection. Now leaning towards Beaded Chestnut. #teammoth #mothsmatter @mothiduk.bsky.social
@dku1000.bsky.socialColeophora potentillae (Potentilla Case-bearer). Larval cases and feeding windows. Approximately 10 cases seen around one short section of mixed bramble and Dewberry. Clare, Suffolk (03/10/26). #mothsmatter
@dku1000.bsky.socialColeophora peribenanderi (Thistle Case-bearer). Larval case and feeding windows. One thistle plant had extensive feeding damage on multiple leaves. Clare, Suffolk (03/10/26) #mothsmatter
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialLots of activity around the garden moth trap in mid Cheshire this evening. Warm, still and overcast. Here Carcina quercana, Red-green Carpet and Spruce Carpet (I think). #teammoth #mothsmatter
@geoffmiller66.bsky.socialOnly 48 moths of 23 species last night BUT a first Southern Brindled Green and a first Merveille du Jour to make up for it 😍
@dku1000.bsky.socialAn excellent educational visit (yesterday) to Clare with the Suffolk Moth Group resulted in records of just over 100 (mainly) micro moth species across two tetrads. Some really nice species seen and plenty of photos to go through. Here are a few to start with. 🙂 See ALT text. #mothsmatter
