Merv new to garden last week. Hoping there is something in the trap in the morning, would be my first #GardenMothScheme run with no empty traps 🤞🤞🤞

It's the final week of our 2025 summer scheme 💔
Please send your results to your local organiser after emptying your moth trap. Thanks to everyone who took part this year, your records are making a real impact on moth research.

More Large Marsh Grasshoppers (Stethophyma grossum) from our return visit to Westhay Moor NNR on Sunday. The afternoon sunshine after the morning deluges brought them out & we heard much singing from the males. @rockwolf74.bsky.social spotted this fabulous female, liveried in pink & green.

Hopefully a very good night on the way for migrants, especially areas to the east of the cold front. Good luck! #teammoth

A trip to the south of England brings home just how common Southern Oak Bush-cricket, Meconema meridionale is there. We found them in numbers at RSPB Pulborough Brooks (where these were photographed) and also at Dungeness, both times in 'natural' habitat, well away from the usual urban settings.

#RecordOfTheWeek is Death's-head Hawk-moth (Acherontia atropos), with 2 caterpillars seen in Tongwynlais by H. Peel.
This is the largest moth found in UK, usually only seen in Wales as a rare migrant, so this breeding record is very unexpected!
Many thanks for the record submitted via iRecord.
