A Swallowtail looking like freshly washed linen came in early this morning and the Carcina quercana was on the sheet all night. Still waiting for something green … #teammoth

8/13 in Marbury VC58 last night. The initial excitement of seeing something big and green in the egg boxes was quashed when it turned out to be a leaf blown in! Mottled & Vines Rustics, Angle Shades, Brimstone and almost missed this Brindled Green camouflaged in the wood pile #teammoth

Went looking for Phyllonorycter pastorella mines this morning at Hill Hook LNR & I may have found my target! Am waiting to find out if there are any previous VC38 records from this year (none on this list I have which goes up to 2024). #teammoth @robedmunds.bsky.social @sj84turner.bsky.social

A long expected and much wanted garden tick. Such a neat little moth. Autumnal Rustic. #TeamMoth. Not ideal conditions as very windy, but my first trap in 2 weeks after being away and an itch that needed scratching as I was missing trapping.
