My latest trapping session over past 5yrs produced 6 of 3 for garden actinic. Single figure temperatures didn't help, but Feathered Thorn is always a joy. I'll try again, as December moth eludes me. #TeamMoth @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social

If you are not ready to hang up your moth trap for the year just yet, please do consider our winter scheme which runs through until March.

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.

Zero moths in the trap for @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social this weekend. So instead I’ll share a couple of moth caterpillars spotted in the garden recently. I think they are a ghost moth & large yellow underwing.

It's the final week of Quarter 3 of the #GardenMothScheme. Please return your completed spreadsheet to your local organiser after adding your records for this week.
Here's hoping for some lovely full traps in the morning!

Nothing new in the trap last night, but this weekend marks a year since I first started trapping. I have discovered 168 different species in the garden & 281 species in total. Who knew there were so many amazing moths to discover!
