Saw this wee beauty in the garden yesterday . ID app on phone says ruby tiger #moth caterpillar.. ? Is that correct? never trapped a ruby tiger moth in the 18 months or so I’ve been trapping though ! East central Scotland #teammoth

Out enjoying possibly the last warm afternoon of the autumn sketching Hummingbird Hawk moth Macroglossum stellatarum, Coleton Fishacre, Devon @nationaltrust.org.uk #teammoth

Scilly Week. 11 Grey Phalaropes from Scillonian III on y'day's crossing. Within 3 hours, the 1CY Sora, a putative Wilson's Snipe & Isabelline/Red-tailed Shrike all at Porth Hellick. Today over to St Agnes for a Red-eyed Vireo; no such luck but privileged to see Bob Dawson's Scar Bank Gem. #TeamMoth

Last night’s trap was very empty, with just singles of Large Wainscot & SMW for interest on external surfaces.
However on the large egg tray wedged behind the trap was this very smart Monopis sp. I’ll need to check the colour of the hindwings, as crocicapitella is still a rarity here.

Great thread about the Bogong Moth, an Australian relative of species such as Heart & Dart #TeamMoth

After a unseasonaly warm day in Hunstanton (22C) it's already a lot better around the trap tonight. Unfortunately the early cloud has gone, but the wind has eased - LBAM 5, Monopis crocicapitella, Large YU, Least Carpet and Red-line Quaker so far. #TeamMoth

Two quite different Merveilles du Jour this morning, one minty fresh and the other blackened and yellowed with age... #teammoth #salopmoths

Wednesday 14th October
Finished my early morning walk at Kelvingrove Park where i found several tenanted leafmines of Phyllonorycter emberizaepenella on Himalayan Honeysuckle. Collected a few to rear through.

A few more from last night's garden traps in mid Cheshire, Green-brindled Crescent, Merveille du Jour, Blair's Shoulder-knot and Vine's Rustic. I was very pleased to see 30 moths of 22 species. #teammoth #mothsmatter

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

@ruthnewby.bsky.social I was wrong there was a Vestal! One of the Phyllonorycter looks like it might be the dark form of Lyonetia clerkella (which I never knew existed) though it won’t settle for a proper photo #teammoth

Initially just 3 moths last night, on the Hunstanton caravan site, but an L-album Wainscot (new for me) just discovered in the grass. #TeamMoth
Scrobipalpa ocellatella not photographed.

A mosaic Gynandromorph Large Yellow Underwing (Noctua pronuba), attracted to light in my Bournemouth garden last night.

Thanks to @norfolkmoths.bsky.social for confirming this Coleophora that came to light here in Mundford VC28 on the night of 6th July '26 as C. prunifoliae, new to Norfolk! #teammoth #norfolkmoths

An unexpected nfy Pammene aurita to the VIT lure here in Mundford VC28 this afternoon #teammoth #norfolkmoths

It may have been a weekday but a warm, humid, and still night was too good not to set the trap out. Rewarded with 109 moths of 34 species, the biggest catch since mid-September. Barred Sallow, Green-brindled Crescent and Barred Red were all new for the year.
