Angle-striped Sallow (Enargia paleacea) -Cairngorms, Scotland, September 2026. Another new species for me on trip to Scotland last month. A very rare species in Ireland with only one record back in 2002. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

Exceptionally mild last night so I ran the moth trap again - 5 species new for the garden (since 2008, clearly I rarely run the trap this late in the year!). Very fresh Merveille du jour the highlight, plus Red- & Yellow-line quakers, Barred sallow and Grey shoulder knot VC22 #moths

6 silver y #moths last night , 2 feathered thorn , 4 spruce , 2 angle shades and 1st December moth of the year ! East central Scotland #teammoth

Merveille du Jour (Griposia aprilina) to my #Norwich garden moth trap last night. The first this year of this beautiful species. Translates from French as "Marvel of the Day". Nuff said. #moths #norfolkmoths #mothsmatter #teammoth #bugsky

This beauty is Atropos. I painted and embroidered her to resemble a death’s-head hawkmoth.

Trichophassus giganteus es una polilla cuyas hembras pueden superar los 20 cm de envergadura. Las orugas devoran la madera, creando túneles en los troncos de los árboles. 📷cliffdorse #insectos #insects #Lepidoptera #polillas #moths

Good morning, Bluesky. These moth caterpillars are called grapeleaf skeletonizers and are munching on Virginia creeper leaves. Not much of the leaf is left when they are done. Birds avoid the caterpillars as they are loaded with hydrogen cyanide. #moths #caterpillars #VirginiaCreeper #Arizona

Dutchess NY: another Mint Moth (aka the Small Purple and Gold) this one photographed on my Garlic Leeks. They are so tiny that if you don’t pay attention you will miss it. Can you see how furry & fuzzy it is? #mintmoth #smallpurpleandgold #moths #insects

Cool to see this paper out recently - results from 19 years of standardised moth monitoring in Iceland: link.springer.com/article/10.1.... Lots of interannual variability, but no trends over the monitored period #Moths

This lovely lady is Cora 🌸💀🌸

Lovely little guy slurping up the nectar from the Salvia Hotlips in the med-bed just now.
Sorry for awful pics but I still felt it was worth sharing
