Any moth-ers out there in the white vice counties that are willing to help on Ophion and Netelia ichneumon wasp study?? Study being conducted by the natural history museum amongst others.
Please retweet, do the gaps can be filled

Mark popped in today to gift us a copy for the library. Thank you! 😊📗 #MothsMatter

No trapping or netting without a license here in Spain. Never mind, just picked up from the road after Mrs Super Spotter noticed this. Spurge Hawkmoth. #moth

An added benefit of making a new side gate. Sitting on a piece of recycled timber, a micro moth. Esperia sulphurella. What a little beauty.

An adult Caloptilia azaleella has emerged from one of the cocoons on azalea. The first record for VC 61. #teammoth #MothsMatter Charles Fletcher Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire

Brimstone moth at Durlston this afternoon. #MothsMatter

For tonight's #MothTrap modification, I have safety pinned some eggboxes around the sides of the trap in hopes that retention might be a teeny bit higher.

This #MothTrap has certainly been a step-up from what I've been having recently - 7/7 with three wonderful NFYs - Pale Prominent (Pterostoma palpina), Flame Carpet (Xanthorhoe designata), and Least Black Arches (Nola confusalis)

Went to Chapel Woods by Quarry Bank, & happy to see my first Green Longhorn of the year! Can't wait for other Longhorn #moth s to be out; Adelidae possibly my favourite #moth family. Also saw another Common Oak Purple. I do love a shiny moth!

Also spotted this NFY Regal Piercer (Pammene regiana)

Phyllonorycter lautella emerged in the shed recently, from leaf-mines on seedling oaks collected at Parc Slip NR in the autumn. It wasn't very compliant and my photo doesn't do justice to its metallic splendour. #MothsMatter

Scarce Prominent (Odontosia carmelita) Co. Donegal. Friday night was cold (car was covered in ice) so only a few moths, but several species I don't get at home, including this one, which always looks a little frosty. #moths #moths matter Ulster Wildlife BC Northern Ireland Butterfly Conservation 🦋

Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia) - N. Antrim - April 2024. An increase in numbers this week of these stunning moths, especially where there is shelter from the northerly winds. #moths #moths matter BC Northern Ireland Ulster Wildlife Butterfly Conservation 🦋

Grey Birch (Aethalura punctulata) - Co. Donegal - April 2024. The last of the species seen at the weekend, which I don't get in the woods at home. #moths #moths matter #teammoth BC Northern Ireland Ulster Wildlife Butterfly Conservation 🦋

It's Friday Flyday Moth-ers!

Hope your traps aren't too (Clouded) Drab tomorrow, looks like a chilly night for us all.

This lovely Brindled Beauty was the lone moth from last night's trapping session #mothsmatter

The lovely little micro-moth Incurvaria masculella, photo taken by my son because it was on my glasses where I couldn’t see it. Meanwhile my daughter explained the ID features of a Robin on our walk to school. Feel like their education is progressing well! #mothsmatter
