Black Rustic was the highlight of a stormy trap in Catton. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A very suave Clancy's Rustic was the pick of the bunch last soir. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Side salads of The Sallow, Lunar Underwing and Silver Y, to go with Le Grand Bleu yesterday. #teammoth #moths #norfolkmoths

It really was an impressive beast! Couldn't wait to get home for a better look. Clifden Nonpareil 🩵. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

The Holy Grail in Old Catton! #teammoth #norfolkmoths #evenbetterthanexpected

20°C here in the Catton Massive, and anticipation hangs heavy in the air. C'mon #teammoth!

Three potentially good migrant nights on the way, with optimum conditions possible on Thursday and Friday #teammoth

Not been much mothing going on round these parts, but popped the MV out into the gale and rain hier soir. Clancy's Rustic was my reward, backed up by 9 Square Spots. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Still awaiting the arrival of Le grand Bleu, but in the meantime I've been kept busy with a nfm European corn borer and a nfg Centre-barred Sallow. Pas mal. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A beautifully fraîche Old Lady, from the MV hier soir. They have been regular in my new jardin. Love 'em. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

As I was putting the Fakenham Town F.C. goalkeepers through their paces tonight, something caught my eye in the 6 yard box. Surely not! Still need one to come and sit on my fence at home, but I guess this is close! #teammoth #norfolkmoths #footballmoths #gkunion

I almost overlooked this delicately gorgeous Triple Clay Lines. Certainly nfg and probably new for me. Silver lining in a meagre catch. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Monochrome. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

"Dad, there's a moth in my room." "Excellent, son. It's a Small Blood-vein." #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Numbers and variety dwindling as we head towards autumn, but still some nice #moths about. Straw Underwing is underrated, Canary-shouldered Thorn and a pair of Ruby Tigers. #teammoth #norfolkmoths #mothage

Back on the MV, with a trap that was interrupted by rain and Hornets. 41/16 included Pale Mottled Willow (3), Beet Moth (2), Ruby Tiger (2) and singles of Silver Y, Straw Underwing and Canary Shouldered Thorn. The Silver Y is my first since way back in June. Struth, Ailsa! #teammoth #norfolkmoths

My brother in law has just sent me this pic of a moth at his house nr Newquay, Cornwall. Looks like it's a Migrant Sable....? He says it is 2cm or under wingspan. What do we reckon, Moth-ers? #teammoth #lepidoptera

A poor trap, despite the promise. Lowlights were a Pale Mottled Willow and Light Emerald. Might have a break now for a week or so (he says, knowing it's just not going to happen). #teammoth #norfolkmoths

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

Hopefully a very good night on the way for migrants, especially areas to the east of the cold front. Good luck! #teammoth

At last, I managed to get a decent shot of this little gem of a #moth - Agapata hamana. Fabulous little banana man. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A different mix of species hier soir in Carmarthenshire. Sq.Spt.+ Flounced Rustic, Lesser YU + Buff Ermine on the macro front. C. lacunana, C. striana + C. atricapitana on the micros. #teammoth #cymru #moths

Tonight's Cymru set-up. Plenty of faded whitewash and beach towels to reel in the #moths. #teammoth #allure

Palpita vitrealis and Large Fruit-tree Tortrix added to the Welsh #moth list. Quite a cool night, so variety was well down. #teammoth

Before #moths encroached into my box of obsessions, diving head-first to the top spot, this was my favourite place for #birding - Kidwelly Quay. Goshawk, Hen Harrier, Pom Skua, Firecrest, LB Dowitcher all seen. Last soir, 18 Little Egrets roosting + a calling Whimbrel. Lush. #birds #Cymru

More mothage from Carmarthenshire. Cream-bordered Green Pea and a new for me Purple Bar - which, tbh, I thought was just a Common Carpet. #WelshMoths #teammoth #diolchmoths

Lydd on Sea VC15, again another trying night by the sea last night with the unending NE gales….. So the second Small Marbled of the year was a very pleasant surprise, a truly stunning little moth. @migrantmothuk.bsky.social #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

I've never caught a Peach Blossom in Norfolk, but Carmarthenshire gave me my 2nd last soir (the 1st being in Cornwall). Absolutely gorgeous. Nuff said. #teammoth #carmarthenshiremoths

Decent haul in Carmarthenshire of 67/20. Probs missed some as arose un peut tard, but Peach Blossom (2nd ever), Swallow Prominent and September Thorn were highlights. Also, Poplar Hawk and Cream-bordered Green Pea held up the Welsh Frontline. #teammoth #CymruMoths #carmarthenshiremoths

Lots of migrants among 108 sp in St Mellion last night. Highlights were 10 Palpita vitrealis (Olive-tree Pearl), Convolvulus Hawk-moth, Striped Hawk-moth - 8th of the year, 3 Vestal, 42 Small Mottled Willow, 8 Scarce Bordered Straw and 2 Bordered Straw. #teammoth

Tonight I am trapping from Outlaws HQ, in the heart of Carmarthenshire. Let's see what rolls up. #teammoth #Welshmoths #carmarthenshiremoths

A pair of Small Dusty Waves at cousin Karen's, in Clifton, Bristol. Nice contrasting dustiness. #teammoth

"Dad, there's a moth in my room!" "Excellent, son, it's a Small Ranunculus." #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A surprise on the Buddleia at NOA Holme this morning, with a Bedstraw Hawkmoth nectaring alongside 2 Hummingbird Hawkmoths, which it absolutely dwarved. New for me, and good to see one in action, rather than in a trap. #NorfolkMoths

Not really what you want but interesting nonetheless. Eggs deposited by Large Thorn. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Last set of Old Catton #moths before I head to Carmarthenshire demain. Monsieur Black Arches, Straw Underwing (a new fave), Campion and le Wax. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A splash of couleur dans le trap this morn. Carcina quercana, a tricky blighter to photograph, and a lush Maiden's Blush. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

I've been waiting to get a good pic of one of the many Lime-speck Pugs that I've been getting. This quick snap of a very fresh one has hit the spot. #comeonyoupugs #teammoth #norfolkmoths

More #Pug conundrums this morn. This is a different individual and again comes up on Obs as Golden-rod (97%). The markings along the top edge of the wing look good, but again I'm out of my Pug depth here. All opinions welcome. #teammoth #norfolkmoths @mothiduk.bsky.social

Can anyone help with this Pug, please? Obsidentify gave it 93% Golden-rod, but I'm pretty sure it's not that. Head scratcher. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Rosy Rustic - another #moth I never had in 5 years trapping at my other maison. #Mothing really is a box of delights! #teammoth #norfolkmoths

I never had Straw Underwing in my previous jardin, donc it's been very nice to see a few this week. Here are two from hier soir. Beautiful intricate patterning. #teammoth #norfolk

Rather excited (understatement du jour) to find this in the actinic this morning. Norfolk Snout (Nothris verbascella), thought to be extinct in the UK until last year, when Dave Jones rediscovered it. Now to search for its larval food, Hoary Mullein. #norfolkmoths #teammoth #moths #lepidoptera

Flounced Rustic being flouncy. #teammith #norfolkmoths

A rather sumptuous Bordered Straw. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Tree-lichen Beauty. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Fair to say the offspring of the adult Fig-leaf Skeletoniser I found earlier in the year are now getting down to work. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

This dark form of Oak Hook-tip had me a bit flustered this matin. The underside is a stunning shade of fiery orange/rouge. Noice. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Aussie Orange-tip, mate. Ripper! #teammoth #caffeinerush

A pale and a not so pale Pale Prominent, from the actinic of hier soir. #teammoth #moths #norfolkmoths
