Feathered Ranunculus Polymixis lichenea North Antrim Sept 2026. A scarce moth in Ireland, but one I get regularly in autumn along the cliffs of the north-east coast. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

#PoorPhotographs 😞 A poor night here, not too surprising as it was a cool 10 degrees C with a Harvest Moon! Good to get a nice Beaded Chestnut, NFY in rural #Yorkshire #HumberheadLevels garden #TeamMoth #MothsMatter @bcyorkshire.bsky.social @doublekidney.bsky.social

A Southern Brindled Green in the trap this morning. NFG and around 12th Guernsey record. One of this year's highlights. 😊 #mothsmatter #teammoth

Had been hoping for Rush Veneer in home trap, frustratingly this one was about 100 yards outwith domestic curtiledge 😔 #TeamMoth #MothsMatter #Yorkshire #HumberheadLevels @bcyorkshire.bsky.social @doublekidney.bsky.social

Exaeretia ciniflonella (Caledonian Grey) Cairngorms Scotland September 2026. A new micro moth for me on my recent Scotland trip. This is rare & local species (pRDB). #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @cairngormsnews.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

23 moths of 12 species caught in our North Norfolk garden overnight including Black Rustic, Lunar Underwing, Small Blood-Vein and a common migrant to Norfolk Vestal. #mothsmatter

Hummingbird Hawk-moth today in Looe in Cornwall. #mothsmatter

The full range of Vestal colours from the traps this morning including my first really pink one #MothsMatter

Plain Clay (Eugnorisma depuncta) Cairngorms Scotland, Sept 2026. Another new species for me, and another we don't get in Ireland. A poorly named moth in my opinion. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social @cairngormsnews.bsky.social

Decent night in the moth trap last night with 18/13 and one NFG! Setaceous Hebrew Character! ✅ Other highlights included Rhomboid Tortirx, Ear Moth sp. and an ever stunning Black Rustic

Orange Sallow (Tiliacea citrago) - North Antrim - September 2026. A rare moth in Ireland with a very much easterly distribution. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
