I got 44 macro moth ticks this year. This list was my most wanted list at the beginning of the year and the only two I got from the list I had already seen elsewhere 😄. The wanted list will be rolled over to next year #teammoth

It's been a successful season with the lures again! #teammoth

Our fluffy December Moth from the weekend. The weather looks cold for the foreseeable future, so barring any mild spells, it looks like that's it for the year #teammoth

Here's a photo of our 'new to the garden' Scarce Umber just as he spotted his escape route #teammoth

7 moths in the trap this morning, including Scarce Umber (✔️) 🎉 and our third ever December Moth #teammoth

I'm assuming it was the 8°c temps that killed the kit off last night. The old battery which has recently been lasting 5 hours didn't even last 4 hours in the evening and the brand new battery didn't even last 6.5 hours overnight. Just one Silver-y sitting in the dark trap #teammoth

Cypress Carpet on the wall just now, VC17 #teammoth

@darthjulzz.bsky.social has just seen a Holly Blue in the road outside the garden #ukbutterflies

It's peeing down so I've packed it in for the night. Just 4x Red-green Carpet #teammoth

A quiet trap, although Rusty Dot Pearl is new for garden. Chestnut x2, LYU, Red-green and Pine Carpets, VC17 #teammoth

Tawny Owl calling as I put the trap out. It's mild, cloudy, and still tonight #teammoth

Just found a Turnip on the fence #teammoth
November 6, 2025 at 12:45 PM
All I got was Red-green Carpet (3) and Grey Pine Carpet (2) 🙄 #teammoth

I think the wind is going to ruin things tonight. It's blowing a gale out there 🙄 #teammoth

Green-brindled Crescent, Red-green Carpet and November Moth agg in the trap this morning. The Vine's Rustic was from the previous night, VC17 #teammoth

Three moths in the trap this morning. Vine's Rustic, Grey Pine Carpet and this rather lovely Satellite. It's the first time we've had one of the orange marked ones #teammoth

Wall Lizards were enjoying the sunshine in West Sussex yesterday #ukwildlife

This lovely Feathered Thorn, only our second ever prevented an unwanted visit from you know who. I was surprised to get anything as the temperature fell to 7°c under clear skies #teammoth

I never get fed up with Merveille du Jour, and they seem to be having a great year #teammoth

Figure of Eight was a bit shy and wouldn't show off his lovely orange antennae. Not bothering with the trap tonight, too windy, VC17 #teammoth
October 31, 2025 at 4:57 PM
A much wanted Figure of Eight turned up last night, and the Mervs keep coming, VC17 #teammoth
