Lots 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
@losbirder.bsky.socialLydd on Sea VC15, on a night that started mild, but grew more chilly towards dawn, there were the usual Autumn species across the three traps. The standout moth of the night was this really fresh looking Small Marbled. Still no special Wainscot!!
@bogtrotter2024.bsky.socialA rather 'dull grey moth' but looking closer there are markings & hints of rusty brown. Is this #PoorPhotograph enough for #TeamMoth to confirm my tentative identification of Acleris sparsana? @mothiduk.bsky.social #Yorkshire #HumberheadLevels #MothsMatter
@debbyseamist.bsky.socialI called the 3rd moth Scarce Bordered Straw but now I think it may be Eastern Bordered Straw, a 1st for me. What does anyone think #mothsmatter
@bogtrotter2024.bsky.socialUpdate on the status of Buckleria paludum (Sundew Plume) on Thorne Moors SSSI. Account of the rediscovery published in 2019, latest new paper provides update on population in Volume 13 of Thorne & Hatfield Moors Paper. #Yorkshire's neglected gem. #TeamMoth #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social

@gcampbellphoto.bsky.socialBlair's Shoulder-knot Lithophane leautieri N. Antrim, Sept 2026. My first up here was in 2019, and it has been annual ever since, with 8 in one night this week. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
@losbirder.bsky.socialLydd on Sea VC15 - Another mild night by the sea, resulted in 132 of 28sp.
My first Streak of the year, plus 5 Scarce Bordered Straw 1 Dark Swordgrass 1 Pearly UW 1 Plumed Fan Foot 6 Small Mottled Willow & the now usual Autumn Cast.
No “special” Wainscot so far….
@wildlifeannie.bsky.social#mothsmatter 👍✨
@britishnatureguide.bsky.socialEight species in the trap in a breezy and wet night in mid Cheshire. Banded Sallow and Beaded Chestnut were new moths for me. Black Rustic and Lunar Underwing were good to see. Down to one Large Yellow Underwing. #teammoth #mothsmatter
@cornishca.bsky.socialClancy's Rustic caught in Skinner trap in my Newark, Nottinghamshire garden last night. Third record for county.

@joshswildlife.bsky.socialQuiet moth trap last night with only 6/4. Some nice autumnal species turning up though such as Spruce Carpet and the lovely Green-brindled Crescent. Also nice to get an interesting form of Acleris variegana!
@gcampbellphoto.bsky.socialRed-line Quaker (Agrochola lota) - North Antrim - September 2026. Another moth of autumn increasing in numbers in recent weeks. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
@cnhs1857.bsky.socialAutumn moths can be beautiful; we caught this Merveille du jour (Griposia aprilina) and two Black rustics (Aporophyla nigra) -aka the 'lichen camouflaged' one and the 'black velvet'one. #ukmoths #mothsmatter #cambridgewildlife
