The #mothing didn't live up to my own hype last soir. 9/6 here in VC27, with a pair of Feathered Thorn, a Barred Sallow and this poseur of a November Moth agg the highlights. Better than not, I suppose. #teammoth

Unapologetically lighting up again tonight. The wind has dropped and it's feeling mild. #teammoth #moths

It's still looking very promising for tonight. The wind should become lighter from the west later in the night. #teammoth

Definitely having a dabble with the actinic last soir. Only 2 #moths, but a lovely Green Brindled Crescent+ a good ole Turnip saved the night in VC27. #teammoth

Day off demain, so...in it to win it. #teammoth #moths #VC27

A rather decent Feathered Thorn here in VC27. #moths #teammoth

Juniper Carpet and Acleris schalleriana - Viburnum Tortrix, were both new #moths for me on Thurs eve in NR6. Some decent back ups two, inc Merv, Feathered Thorn and Diamond-back. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Still a few #fungi pics to check, from Holkham Dunes/Pines. I believe this one to be Liver Milkcap (Lactatius hepaticus). #mycology #fungus #norfolk

Happy Halloween, all! Hope it's full of sweets and #nature. #teammoth #moths #fungi #pumpkin

A suitably seasonal Samhain encounter with this stunning Noble False Widow, lurking near our compost bins. Spiders and their webs have been viewed as powerful symbols of fate, creativity, and the interconnectedness of life, death, and the spiritual world.

Which one is better? #teammoth #halloween

Some Russula species from the dune slack. There were definitely Crab (xerampelina), possibly The Sickener (emetica) and maybe Primrose (sardonia). #fungifriday #mycology #fungi

More fungi from #Holkham NNR. Lovely Yellow Stagshorn, Common Rustgill, Grey and Sulphur Knights - the latter stank of glue! #fungifriday #fungi #mycology #fungifriends #halloween

I had a fantastic hike around my old stomping ground yesterday on Holkham NNR. Lots of #fungi in all the old spots, so here's a series of pics and attempted IDs in the ALT. I'm a bit rusty so any comments appreciated. #fungi #mycology #fungifriends

Evidence of Shrike presence at Burnham Overy Dunes? No sign of any while I was there, but I'm not sure what else could be responsible. #birds #norfolkbirds #larder

Whilst looking for #fungi at Holkham Dunes this bright little thing caught my eye. Palpita vitrealis, taking in some sun. #moths #teammoth #migrantmoths #norfolkmoths

Almost forgot that I had a hat trick of Merveille du Jour yesterday - a garden record. Always surprised at how chunky they are. Beautiful #moths. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A single White-point saved the Wogan here in Norfolk. Chilly night. #teammoth #moths

Rather a soggy trap ce matin. However, this Mottled Umber was clinging onto the outside and was a very welcome nfy. 5/5 was the total. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Some lovely fresh Jelly Ear #Fungus today. Finally, some rain to get things moving. #fungi #mycology

With moths thin in the ground I turned my attention to #fungi this morn. 19 species in an hour foraying around Catton Park - my new local #fungus patch. IDs are my best shot. Happy to be corrected.

A single Red-green Carpet on the wall next to the actinic saved the Wogan. 1/1 here in cold, blustery Old Catton. #teammoth

Best #moth from a small catch to actinic was this Green Brindled Crescent. I believe it's the cappachoochoo version. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Just 7/7 #moths to actinic in Old Catton, NR6. Diamond-back, Yellow-line Quaker and White-point the best of the small bunch. #teammoth

Yellow-line Quaker playing dead. Very interesting underside. Quite the actor. #teammoth #mothage

All the 8s... 18/8 to the MV today of which TEN were Figure of Eights, a record count of this declining moth #salopmoths #teammoth #vc40

Dark Chestnut, another nfy. So dark and chestnutty. #teammoth #mothagezvous

Tonight’s moth shenanigans #teammoth

NFY Feathered Thorn, looking very feathery. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

This Green Brindled Crescent was very impressive. My second in a week and an absolute belter! #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Found this little dude crawling along the pavement. Any ideas, moth caterpillar people? #teammoth

One of a pair of Large Ranunculus, from le jardin. This time MV did the trick. Great #moths. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A pair of Merveille du Jour ensured the day lived up to their names. #teammoth #moths #norfolkmoths

A decent night of quality #moths in Old Catton, having switched to MV. Grey Shoulder-knot and Yellow-line Quaker were nfy/g and this dark form of Box #Moth was rather striking. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

An improvement in my Autumnal fortunes last night to the actinic. Just 13/7 but that included 2 Beaded Chestnut, that were totally new for me. A lovely nfy Chestnut + a delicious Barred Sallow and the biggest LBAM I've ever seen. Noice in NR6. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A few #moths dropped by last soir. Best of the bunch was this nfg Green Brindled Crescent. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Two splendidly unexpected 'new for me' #moths could not resist the actinic last soir. Large Ranunculus and Large Wainscot go on the jardin list. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

A lush pair of Barred Sallow, to actinic, hier soir. #teammoth

A nice pair of autumnal species to actinic hier soir dans le Catton Massive. Rusty Dot Pearl arrived early evening and the Brick was nfy in the matin. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Mothage! #teammoth

Check the colours! #teammoth

A decent night on the actinic in NR6. 45/12, including 4 Black Rustic and 3 Clancy's Rustic. Also a noice Barred Sallow. Love the autumn #moths. #teammoth #norfolk

Carcina quercana - always a treat. From the actinic trap hier soir. #teammoth

17/8 in Old Catton, Norfolk. Best was a nfy Brindled Green and a well marked Carcina quercana. Also, nicely marked Lunar Underwings continue to please the eye. #norfolkmoths #teammoth

As I was setting up the actinic, I found this furry cat. Ruby Tiger, do we think? I've had lots of them this year. #teammoth

My version of patriotism. #teammoth

Switching to the actinic ce soir. Cool here, but wind has dropped, so who knows... #teammoth #norfolkmoths #trappingtonight

In lieu of any moths, due to inclement conditions, here are my #Koi #Carp. The pond is establishing nicely and they seem very happy. It's another nice thing to do as the world seems to slip into absurd chaos.

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