A couple of nights (18th & 19th September) trapping on the North #Norfolk coast at Kelling provided some fabulous autumn species. Details in ALT #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #bugsky #norfolkmoths

New species for my #Norwich garden over the last few weeks. Garden list currently stands at 602 species recorded since April 2020. Details in ALT. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #bugsky #insects

Pine Carpet (Pennithera firmata) - Scotland - September 2026. A scarce moth locally, but in their hundreds in the pine forests of Scotland #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

#teammoth Only 26/11 here in North Derbyshire VC57 #DERBYSHIRE on a very mild night. Nothing too exciting but 2 GB Crescent were NFY. Also another 4 Black Rustic, SMW, Beautiful Hook-tip, Angle Shades. LYU and an escapee micro. #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #insects

Lydd on Sea VC15, another mild night by the sea, and the general upturn in numbers over the last few mild nights resulted in 127 of 26, though nothing outstanding has been trapped recently, but this Yellow Tail decided to pose for me.

I made a last-minute decision to put the trap out under an umbrella in last night’s rain and balmy temperature.

Turned up the second ever White-point for the garden…

Another Bordered Straw, or perhaps even the same moth, turned up to the lamp in the back garden this evening. So a quick photoshoot before releasing it out front

Bordered Straw, Heliothis peltigera #teamMoth #mothsMatter

Black Rustic (Aporophyla nigra) - North Antrim - September 2026. One of the more classy looking moths of autumn. Once considered very scarce up here, not now #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

After a catastrophic decline in numbers over recent years that placed Australia’s iconic Bogong moth on the IUCN Red List, their numbers have really surged this year!

Spot the moth 🫥

Meet our 'Wonder of the Day', the Merveille du Jour (Dichonia aprilina)!

Its pale green colouring and black markings allow it to blend in perfectly with lichens and mosses.
