After a year or so of working in Essex it would have been rude not to go and see the fantastic Fisher's Estuarine Moth recently. As good as mothing gets - awesome moths in a wonderfully atmospheric setting. Great to see the equally-rare Hog's Fennel specialist Agonopterix putridella too #UKMoths

An odd mixture last night in Tilehurst including FFG Brindled Green x2 (where did they spring from?), a gorgeous dark Green Brindled Crescent, Merveille du Jour, Satellite etc etc. #teammoth #ukmoths

@andymus.bsky.social has pointed out that my "Oak Hook-tip" looks more like a Spiny Hook-tip, which I wasn't even aware of and is extremely rare. Bigger than an OHT with a grey cast to the wing and different markings near the hook. #teammoth #ukmoths

Good night in Tilehurst last night: FFY Merveille de Jour 7 Green-brindled Crescent, Blair's Shoulder Knot, Clancy's Rustic, Deep Brown Dart, Beaded Chestnut, Cypress Carpet & Cypress Pug. #ukmoths #teammoth

Really surprised that even in my suburban new build in Chichester I’ve got to 100 species of moth in just a couple of months of trapping. And #100 was the best so far, a truly stunning Merveille du Jour! What a spectacular creature! #teammoth #ukmoths #sussexmoths

Lovely Feathered Thorn attracted by our outside light tonight

Last week my hubby found a pale tussock caterpillar. I’ve never seen one before. I was away from home, so he put it in tub with some oak leaves. Picture two is what I was greeted with when I came home. I still haven’t seen a pale tussock caterpillar 😮‍💨

Clancy's & Rush Veneer still about in Tilehurst/Reading and FFY Blair's Shoulder Knot. Also, Chestnut, Barred Sallow & some lovely Lunar Underwing colour variations. #ukmoths #teammoth

Autumn 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

Dusky-lemon Sallow, Cirrhia gilvago.

A nice find by @vannabartlett.bsky.social at Blo' Norton, Norfolk, yesterday.

Forgot the Deep-brown Dart from last night ... we've had a few of these in our road so I wonder if they are having a good year? #teammoth #ukmoths

Interesting catch in Tilehurst last night, amongst the Lunar Underwings & Square-spot Rustics ... a Garden Cockroach (Ectobius vittiventris), which seems pretty unusual this far west. #teammoth #ukmoths #cockroach #ectobius

Two stand out moths this morning, nice Scare silver lines, and this Clifden Nonpareil. Market Harborough #vc55moths #teammoth #ukmoths

Does anyone have any idea which knot-horn this might be (Reading area, last night)? I'm coming up blank here - looks interesting but I can't place it. #ukmoths #teammoth

Good catch in Tilehurst last night: Clancy's Rustic (2), L-album Wainscot, Acleris cristana (Tufted Button), Oncocera semirubella (Rosy-striped Knot-Horn), Archips podana (Large Fruit-tree Tortrix), Barred Sallow, Meal Moth, Satellite, Black Rustic. #ukmoths #teammoth

Golden-rod Brindle (Xylena solidaginis) Cairngorms Scotland September 2026. Not a species we get in Ireland, and a new one from me. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @savebutterflies.bsky.social #ukmoths @europebutterfly.bsky.social

"Found in my veg patch on Saturday! Crawled out from under my pumpkin plants! Had to Google to find out it was a Deaths-head Hawk-moth! Never seen one before."

A fantastic find shared by Jackie Love on the Sussex Wildlife Trust Nature Table Facebook page.
