Last weekend, one of our seasonal @CNPRangers, Becki, captured this incredible photo of a Kentish Glory moth at Muir of Dinnet NNR. @NatureScot are currently carrying out a survey of the invertebrates found on the site to help protect and improve habitat 🍃 @savebutterflies
Colder nights and smaller moth catches @STWDraycote but good to record Frosted Green (although more grey than green) and the micro Pammene argyrana (measurung just 5.5mm). Both are local species presumably attracted to the Turkey Oak. @BritishMoths @BCWarwickshire
Found this lovely streamer #moth today - lovely lilac shades in the sunlight @BritishMoths
Fab Angle shades moth in the trap this morning!! #MothsMatter @BritishMoths @savebutterflies
A short 🧵 about Box Moth (Cydalima perspectalis). This non-native moth arrived in Cardiff in 2018, having spread rapidly across southern England since 1st record in Kent in 2007. It didn't appear in my garden until 2020. By 2023 it was the commonest species in the moth trap!
They really are. It's remarkable how small patches of native plants can support colonies of insects. They can create a web of life amongst the concrete jungle. It's sad that we all to often cannot tolerate this untidiness. We eradicate so much life.

Water Carpet (Lampropteryx suffumata) - North Antrim, April 2024. Another moth in the local woods recently. #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth @BCNI_ @savebutterflies @UlsterWildlife
A Hawthorn bush on a track along foot of Therfield Heath, with I think Brown Tailed Moth caterpillars, Euproctis chrysorrhoea, emerging from their web. @Bc_HertsMiddx #moths #Hertfordshire @BritishMoths
Surprise early visitor yesterday to our garden. #hummingbirdhawkmoth @Buzz_dont_tweet @BritishMoths
Decent numbers of macro moths @STWDraycote in recent days, none scarce, but good examples of the their variability even if "brown jobbies": Scorched Carpet, Lunar Marbled Brown, Pebble Prominent and Muslin Moth. @BritishMoths @BCWarwickshire
The Streamer Just found a first for @FlamboroughBird below our house security light . A new Moth for me too @DoubleKidney @BC_Yorkshire @YCNature @BritishMoths
Mullein. No 399 for my garden in VC39 #mothsmatter #teammoth @BritishMoths
30:14 last night. What a lift to open a trap with more than a handful of moths in it. Top scorers were this Brimstone with 5, tied with 5 brindled beauty. 6 nfy, now at 31 species for the year in the garden. S Monmouthshire #mothsmatter #vc35
Early Thorn Moth (Selenia dentaria) - North Antrim - March 2024. There are two generations of this species in Ireland. The first appear in March to May, with the second which are usually paler and smaller in summer. #moths #mothsmatter @savebutterflies @UlsterWildlife @BCNI_
Best night of the year, with 57 of 22 to actinics. Striped Hawk-moth was NFY & NFG. Other highlights were Pine Beauty, 2 Dark Sword-grass & Brimstone Moth. 8 Silver Y to the Ni lure after I'd shut down the trap. @MigrantMothUK
Milder overnight temperatures, but rain has kept moth catches @STWDraycote low. Just 37 last night (9 species) incl the first Swallow Prominent and Oak-tree Pug of the year. Several dozen Common Footman caterpillars have also emerged along the dams. @BritishMoths @BCWarwickshire
3 Scarce Prominent were among 26sp in last nights trap. VC15 @BritishMoths @mothsinkent
25 moths of 8 species in a sodden trap this morning @RSPBNewport including a smart Acleris cristana, and an early Iron Prominent. #gwentmoths #VC35 #MothsMatter
A Green Silver-lines that emerged from a cocoon I found on oak in the autumn. #teammoth #MothsMatter @DoubleKidney @BC_Yorkshire
After last nights bumper catch of 18 species, i'm now upto 58 species for the year, helped by 5 new ones. Best were an early Chinese Character, Agonopterix subpropinquella, Acrolepiopsis assectella & a rather smart presumed Caloptilia semifascia. Fordham, East Cambs

Moth catches are holding up well this year. Over 100 moths of 22 species last night - must be a record for my urban Cardiff garden in October. The biggest surprise was this smart Acrobasis suavella, only my 3rd here and a month later than previous Glamorgan records. #MothsMatter
