#VC20
A grand total of 8:7 macro in VC20 last night (4.6c at midnight, min 2.9c!) with new for autumn Mottled Umber, a late Shuttle-shaped Dart + this micro 8mm single wing, I suspect a worn LBAM but is it? #teammoth

A quiet night in VC20 despite the mild temperatures. Wind and rain until midnight! 8:7 macro (yesterday 5:5) but it did include a Silver Y which normally wouldn't be noteworthy but only my 8th garden record of 2025! 18 year average is 29! #teammoth #migrantmoths

My optimism last night was short lived! 36:17 macro in VC20 was good but not perhaps as good as I hoped for? Garden Carpet appeared briefly last night. Satellite & a smart for a change Brick stood out plus the 20 +/- Tachystola acroxantha (Ruddy Streak) - they were everywhere #teammoth

Conditions in VC20 are looking far more favorable than last night - the wind has dropped and currently 14 c. A smart Satellite had already arrived #teammoth

Some weird temperatures in VC20 last night. By midnight dropped to 4.8c rising to 12 at day break & rain! 15:10 moths with a NFY!!!! Sprawler! At last LYUW have almost finished. #teammoth

Searching blackthorn yesterday in a new field near the A1 in VC20 for Brown Hairstreak, yealded 8 Blue-borderedCarpet eggs & 2 Oak Eggar(says Obsidentify)caterpillars + the star of the show 2 Brown Hairstreak eggs ✅ My phone doesn't take photos of eggs very well! @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social #teammoth

In VC20 it ended up being a very mild night but too windy for some moths. 53:20 macro including a Pink-barred Sallow, only my 2nd record this year & a month since that but no NFY. Grey & Blair's Shoulder-knot hiding on the fence didn't get missed this time! #teammoth

The moth gods were on my side last night with 59:19 macro and a further 8:3 micro in VC20. Best, another NFY & even better omitted from my wish list until I saw here that it was turning up. Figure of 8 and only my 4th garden record in 23 years! Also a late Dark Arches #teammoth

Checking past years 76:20 macro is nothing amazing at the end of October but still good in my VC20 garden. No NFY and nothing special but 10 Brick stood out! #teammoth

There is a moral here? Never assume even if it was 6.2c at midnight in VC20! Walked up to the trap, expecting a blank - saved by 2 Epirritas on the greenhouse glass. But then the trap excelled again with 29:12 including 8 Brick. Spot the odd one out in the 1st photo - I nearly missed it! #teammoth

Torrential rain from 8.30pm didn't deter 55:20 macro in VC20 last night. Amongst the leaf debris were late Yellow-tail & Mother of Pearl. Also Sallow & Oak Nycteoline. Don't think it's Eastern?? #teammoth

My VC20 garden continues to amaze me. High counts of species not exceeded since the early 2000s & numbers & species holding up again this morning 82:22 macro+3 micro! Highest count of MduJs with 8. Adding yesterday's different species makes 31 species in 2 days! This Is October! Just 1 pic #teammoth

Moth numbers are still holding up in my VC20 garden with 69:21 macro last night and a further 7:6 micro! However, my species list for 2025 continues to rise with more surprises - a Vapourer which had dropped off my radar and the first record in the trap since 2022! #Teammoth

An decent night in my VC20 garden with a garden milestone - my 2025 macro count reaching 294, a 22 year garden best beating 2022s 293 & still 3 months to go! NFY Oak Rustic 4th garden record, Mallow, a rare visitor and RL Quaker plus a very pink Vestal. 35 of 17 macro and 5 micro species. #teammoth

It's taken 5 years to repeat this - my 2nd record of Clifden Nonpariel! It was so big I nearly missed it! My eyes were focused on all the smaller moths as I turned the blue/grey egg box over-132 of 17 macro species last night in VC20. Also new season Satelitte. #Teammoth @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social

198 of 28 macro species last night in VC20. Including 2 Lunar Yellow Underwings - 4th & 5th garden records. They do stand out amongst all the Large & Lesser Yellows #teammoth My 1st record in 2021 was in July all later ones have been in September.

C64? Der hatte ja ne Tastatur!Ich habe noch mit Lochkarten programmiert :-)
Aber ich hatte dann auch einen VC20.

Next #lichen info sheet and image gallery! Variospora (Caloplaca) flavescens: very common in England. Don't confuse with V aurantia (shorter, flatter lobes) or Calogaya pusilla (Caloplaca saxatilis; apothecia closer to margins, smaller thallus, often more pruinose). aspenecology.com/variospora-c...

Ich hab nur eine XBox360 gehabt, als eigentlich schon klar war, dass ihre Tage gezählt wären.
Die anderen Konsolen habe ich alle erst gekauft, als es sie für einen Zwanni auf dem Flohmarkt gab.

Ansonsten hab ich mit dem VC20 angefangen (geliehen vom Bruder), dann eigener C64, kurz danach schon der

What's the name of the lure? I think I better get one in case they stray into VC20

Anfang …

das analoge Paradigma wankte …

So fing es 1980 bei mir an:

Der #CommodoreVC20.

Damals war er mein Einstieg in die Welt der Computer 5 KB RAM, Datasette, und ein Fernseher als Monitor.
Für mich war es der Beginn einer Leidenschaft, die bis heute anhält.

Mein Tor ins Computerzeitalter.🖖

Falls die Deutsche Bahn die IT ihrer Züge modernisieren möchte - ich hab irgendwo noch einen Commodore VC20 herumliegen.

Same. Bzw. zeitgleich mit Datasette.

Davor hatte ich einen Hand-me-down VC20, aber ohne externes Laufwerk. Da hatte ich nur Cartridges und hab gezockt 😅

Would anyone like to have an opinion on this yellow underwing from last night in VC20. Far from being cooperative and the other candidate is on the top of a kitchen cupboard!!! #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
