Most pleased with this nfg Cypress Carpet in Norwich. Not unexpected, given the surge in #Norfolkmoths records but last night’s front felt like it might confer one. And it did. Also Silver Y (rare this year) and Diamondback, hinting at #migrantmothuk arrivals. #teammoth #muchadoaboutmothing

In our garden, at least, #mothing is about the browns of decaying leaves. So to see an unseasonably late, vibrant-green Scarce Silver-lines this morning was a treat. Especially as the best migrant - on what I was hoping would be a decent night - was Dark Sword-grass. #teammoth #MuchAdoAboutMothing

The second Palpita vitrealis in a week that I've found in a kitchen - 331 miles apart. Having arrived back in Norwich yesterday, from Kidwelly, Cymru, I found this one in my own kitchen today. #muchadoaboutmothing #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Burnished Brass [Diachrysia chrysitis] with Parasitic Wasp takeover (I think). Interesting to watch. Any help with identification? Never seen this behaviour before. @norfolkmoths.bsky.social @timstrudwick.bsky.social

Still enjoying the casually good #migrantmoth action in Somerset: today’s catch (from
an impressive 350 moths in two actinics) was Vestal, Small Mottled Willow, Dark Sword-grass and 12 Rush Veneer. That would be by far my best-ever migrant haul in Norwich! #teammoth #MuchAdoAboutMothing
Trapping near Creech St Michael, Somerset, this week: nice migrant haul w/ Small Marbled, 2 Small Mottled Willow, Dark SG, 3 Rush Veneer, RDP. assume the 14 Euro Cornborers (inc mating pair) are resident. #teammoth #migrantmoth #somersetmoths @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

The lepidopteran highlight of the Norwich garden week: a female Hummingbird hawk-moth laying eggs. First time I have seen evidence of attempted breeding in the UK. #NorfolkMoths #teammoth #MuchAdoAboutMothing

Last night’s lepihighlights in our Norwich garden: the summer’s third Marbled Clover (vs just one in the previous ten years), plus 5 Silver Y and 10 Diamond-backs. #teammoth #norfolkmoths #MuchAdoAboutMothing

Quite some dispersal evident in a hefty Norwich moth trap last night, inc the year’s second garden Marbled Clover (a species wandering widely and prolificly in 2025), Bulrush and Twin-spotted wainscots) #teammoth #norfolkmoths #MuchAdoAboutMothing

The other highlight of this morning's moth trap in SE London was this stunning Lime Flame Chrysoclista linneella - the first I have caught in a moth trap, though I have seen them on lime trunks during the day. #teammoth #MuchAdoAboutMothing
