Another completely unexpected moth in the trap a couple of nights ago: V-moth! Red listed: Endangered. We are lucky, in Norfolk, to get a few records a year #norfolkmoths #teammoth

I have been keeping an eye out for Eudemis porphyrana (Apple Marble) ever since @akkwildlife caught #Norfolk's 1st in 2022. Bleary-eyed, brain-befuddled checking of traps at 04h30 before all-day surveys produced a candidate, which I fortunately potted. 4th for the county! #teammoth #mothing

To all you lovely Norfolk folk who bird and moth, can I encourage you to use the hashtags: #norfolkbirding #norfolkmoths This way, us Norfolkians can quickly find posts from the county. If there are #s uses for other groups please add them in replies

The Alchemist My 600th Norfolk macro moth Many, many thanks to Craig for the share and organisation #teammoth #norfolkmoths I say 600th, one of those is a still unidentified adventive, so I suppose it’s officially 599! I wonder what my official 600th will be?!

I’m doing a tidy and need to free up space. I have spare pots, tubing for pooters if you want a longer collection tube, and I’m able to knock up about 10 pooters if anyone is interested. All at cost and postage as I need them gone. The pooters work and tested last night. DM is interested #teammoth

Cley: Marsh Warbler from path parallel to coast road c150m from East Bank this evening. Mimicry incl Blue Tit, Blackcap, Redstart #norfolkbirding #ukbirding

SERVER UPGRADE Please note norfolkmoths.co.uk and several other Lepidoptera UK sites will be down for essential maintenance on Friday 30th. Will be back up and running as soon as possible. #norfolkmoths

Glyphipterix forsterella - 2nd for Norfolk! Netted during the day, last week, at Lolly Moor NWT It took a while before Marcus was able to get pictures good enough to publish, so many thanks to him! #norfolkmoths #teammoth

Day flying (primarily Breckland) specialities - one of which has come to light in my garden. Speckled Yellow (I still end up calling this Speckled Wood, occasionally!), Clouded Buff, Small Yellow Underwing (a macro smaller than the micro, Mint Moth!) & Burnet Companion #norfolkmoths #teammoth

As a Norfolk Moth-er, I find it amazing to think that this beauty is a garden moth, for some people #jealous #norfolkmoths

Two of my favourite day flying micros: Alabonia geoffrella and Nemophora degeerella, both found today at Sparham Pools NWT #norfolkmoths #teammoth My iPhone pics do not do either of them justice!

I still have 4 spaces left on this Friday evening's dusk walk at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen - last week we saw 3 Cuckoo, Hobby, a dozen Common Sandpiper and more! #NorfolkBirding You can book places here: events.rspb.org.uk/browse?filte...

Tonight (all of UK/Ireland) and tomorrow night (England/Wales) should be excellent mothing nights, with the added bonus of possible dispersal from the near Continent and North Africa. #teammoth

Okady doke, hello #InverteFest lovelies 👋 I have a whole collection of accessories and jewellery inspired by all the beautiful bugs that ivy attracts… there’s ivy mining bees, moths, butterflies and even a golden hoverfly! www.loadofolbobbins.com/collections/... #MothsMatter #TeamMoth #BugSky

An early Spectacle was my 100th moth (only adults) in Norfolk, this year. A stunning Water Carpet was my 65th garden moth (again, only adults) of the year. A bonus NFY Herald was also trapped. Have a good (but not tooo good) week, everyone! #norfolkmoths #teammoth Mullein from yday

Common Redstart. Coloured pencils on paper

A fortunate rescue. This male Emperor Moth eventually recovered and flew off without any issues #teammoth

I was hoping to get pics of Spoonbills, the other day, at Cley. Unfortunately, I kept on arriving just too late for them feeding, so had to be content with a flyby … and what a flyby it was #norfolkbirding

Imm male Black Redstart at Holme NOA, last week. A lovely subtle bird and great to hear it calling and singing (I’m desperately trying not to say, ‘Shame it wasn’t an adult’!) #norfolkbirding

Emperor Moth to my long-suffering lure (that’s even been soaked on a couple of occasions) in the garden. I don’t try and net, anymore (I have enough posed shots over the years) but prefer to have fun try to get an ‘action shot’. Still trying! #norfolkmoths #teammoth VC28

The cloud made getting a pic of the solar eclipse rather tricky but did give some amazing effects!

The Cley Glossy Ibis gave a nice flyby from the West Bank, this morning 🌅 #norfolkbirding

There’s been an obvious emergence of Double-striped Pugs around my garden, tonight, already producing a garden high of 9 (wonder how many more there wi be?) They’re everywhere, except in the traps! Some great photo opps on a variety of backgrounds - all very fresh! #norfolkmoths #teammoth VC28

FREE scope with stay on case, 20-60x eyepiece and tripod as pictured to any young birder just starting out only. Pick up only or meet if not too far. #NEbirding, @durhambirdclub.bsky.social,@ntbirdclub.bsky.social

Incidentally, if I use any mothing jargon, such as NFY, lighting up, Frankentrap, agg or whatever, I've got a mothing glossary that should cover everything www.sciencebase.com/science-blog... Includes a list of recommended books and websites as well as info on pheromone lures

‘Accidentally’ did two consecutive night sessions in the Brecks! Fantastic to record the continued presence of Barred Tooth-striped in the area. Early Tooth-striped was a bonus but ‘moth-of-night’, for me, was Amphisbatis incongruella (Obscure Concealer - an accurate tautology!) #norfolkmoths
