17/29 in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning #teammoth, but the most unexpected catch in the MV was this huge diving beetle Dytiscus; superficially most like D dimidiatus (King Diving Beetle) but this isn't recorded in the area, so ?? marginalis. Any thoughts from #beetle enthusiasts welcome

Just back from a week working in Chile & a nice catch in Ashurst, New Forest this morning! Blair's Mocha nfg, my 2nd White-Speck for the garden, 12 White Point, ferrugalis, xylostella & what I think is the rare crab spider Philodromus margaritatus #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

After 2 weeks away on holiday it is difficult to resist posting a Merveille du Jour on my return to Ashurst, New Forest, but Musotima nitidalis is arguably just as beautiful! A late Aproaerema anthylidella also good to see #teammoth

Jersey Mocha was a nice nfg in Ashurst, New Forest this morning. Probably resident now as there are a few other local records. Deep-brown Dart & Cypress Pug also nfy, plus 3 Vestal, 5 noctuella, 3 Four-spotted Footman & 4 L-album Wainscot #teammoth

Clifden nonpareil has become a 1 or 2 a year moth for me in Ashurst, New Forest but it is always great to be reminded quite how huge (& beautiful) it is #teammoth

Scarce Bordered Straw was a nice nfy among a sparse catch this morning in Ashurst, New Forest. A couple of ferrugalis, Dark Spectacle & a White Point, but no other migrants. @migrantmothuk.bsky.social #teammoth

After many, many years of waiting a Small Marbled eventually pitched up in my MV in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning (along with 5 Corn Borer, 3 ferrugalis, 1 L-album Wainscot & a Small Mottled Willow) - now up to 511 for the year! #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

Obsidentify says 'C rufana' 100%, but I think this is Celypha rosaceana, nfg, in Ashurst, New Forest - views welcome! I'm hopeless on leaf mines, so assistance welcome on this sycamore leaf: Obsidentify says it is fungal (Sycamore Tarspot), but I wondered about Phyllonorycter geniculella #teammoth

I don't get many Cydia amplana in Ashurst, New Forest, so this was a nice nfy this morning, plus Phyllonorycter corylifoliella nfg & Cabbage nfy, plus 3 noctuella. Great to also have my 3rd Dusky Mocha of the year. Less welcome were 8 Hornets & 2 Box Moths! #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

I've only had a few Tree-lichen Beauty's previously in Ashurst, New Forest, so the one this morning was nice to see. Also Plumed Fanfoot but that was disturbed by another moth just as I was about to take the picture #teammoth

Grass Emerald was a notable absentee from the garden list in Ashurst, New Forest - until today. Also Musotima nitidalis (Australiasian native, now well established in the #NewForest) but it flew off in the dining room before I could photograph it & yet to be relocated.. #teammoth

Dingy Mocha is a Red Data Book & Biodiversity Action Plan specialty of Hants/Dorset: when I caught my first one since starting trapping 1990 in the garden in Ashurst, New Forest in April I thought it was just a wanderer, but a second one today encourages me that it is now established here #teammoth

Small Purple Barred the best from this morning's mv in Ashurst, New Forest. Not uncommon on the forest rides but less than annual in the garden #teammoth

Brown Scallop is 'largely absent' from the New Forest, so this was a welcome nfg this morning, even though it took a bit of time to realise what it was! #teammoth
