It's been a good year for Barred Sallow for me at home in St Helens, with 8 in the trap last night, most I've ever had together in one go also my first Feathered Thorn of the year with another Palpita vitrealis as well. #Teammoth #StHelensBirding

Finally, one of my most wanted garden moths put in an appearance last night 4/10/26, and only the 2nd record for St Helens, a smart looking Merveille du Jour, well pleased. #Teammoth #StHelensBirding
A very poor catch last night 1/10/26 at home in St Helens, but I still managed to get a new micro species for the garden and St Helens, an Acleris hyemana, smart looking moth. #Teammoth #StHelensBirding
I had a new species of insect for me and St Helens at home last night 29/9/26. A Western Conifer Seed Bug, unfortunately it seems to be missing one of it's back legs. #StHelensBirding
A nice fresh Orange Sallow was the best of a reduced catch last night 16/9/26 at home in St Helens, only the 4th one I've had at home. #Teammoth #StHelensBirding
