52/24 last night. NFY Y-Lined Quaker* & P. MessanieIla (Ilex leaf-miner)* just a record shot, too small for me!

Lunar UW tops on 8, Bl Rustic 5, MDJ 1*, Clancy's 2, White-point 1*, C Plume etc. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

First Yellow-line Quaker of year, decided it preferred the outside of the pot!

P.Messaniella - Ilex Leaf-miner, so tiny, couldn't get a decent shot.

Merveille du Jour, lovely moth. On window sill last night. Gone this morning.

Totally realise the rarity value but pretty confident this might be Porter's Rustic (Athetis hospes)?! Obsi 100%... #teammoth #norfolkmoths @norfolkmoths.bsky.social @mothiduk.bsky.social

Overcast and mild overnight, and moth trap numbers up to 231:27. Three species apparently new for Blakeney Point according to the Norfolk Moths website - Plumed Fan-foot, Musotima nitidalis and Acrobasis consociella. This last also NFY for me, along with Archer’s Dart. #NorfolkMoths #TeamMoth

As marvellous as Steve’s emoji is, the post I actually meant to tag with #NorfolkMoths was Tim’s Convolvulus caterpillar bsky.app/profile/moth...

Two new moth species for me, found at Blo' Norton: Dusky-lemon Sallow (tapped from Oak) and Pale-lemon Sallow that landed on my hand while I was sweep netting under trees. A rather pleasing pair. #TeamMoth #NorfolkMoths

An orangey-brown coloured moth with dark wavy lines across the wings and some more extensive darker areas. The moth is inside a clear plastic pot which is on the ground and green grass stems can be seen through the pot.

A brown moth with two pale wavy lines crossing the wings and a small whitish spot inside the reniform wing stigma. The tips of the forewings are slightly pointed. There is some orange suffusion to the wings. The moth is sitting on the back of a human hand and facing left.

New for year, a Common Marbled Carpet, nothing common about this one, very smart.
