Morning all 😊. Help with id please. My brain isn't awake yet #teammoth

Red-belted Clearwing NFY to lure at 1pm, VC17 #teammoth

I had some errands to run in town today, so took the camera along and photographed some bits and bobs. There was a constant stream of Painted Ladies, some stopping to feed on flowers #urbanwildlife #ukwildlife

Lilac Beauty, a much wanted ✔️ and Common Wainscot NFY posing for photos #teammoth

It was carnage round the trap when I went out at dawn. A blizzard of moths! I stuffed the entrance to the trap and hid indoors for a bit until things calmed down. One of my most wanted has fallen. Lilac Beauty!! 🎉 VC17 #teammoth

@portlandbirdobs.bsky.social doing well for moths in the current balmy conditions. Warden Martin Cade has stated 'we're gonna need a bigger trap...and in all likelihood, possibly a new lighthouse!' @migrantmothuk.bsky.social #MothsMatter

Another of yesterday's Marsh Frogs and Lesser Stag Beetle that was in the moth trap this morning #ukwildlife

Seraphim is amazingly a tick for me. My friend a couple of miles away gets lots of them. Lesser Stag Beetle is new for the garden #teammoth #ukwildlife

A fantastic day in Kent included highlights of Stoat, Roe Deer and fawn, Hummingbird Hawk-moth, Yellow Belle, Wall, loads of Painted Ladies, Variable Damselfly, Marsh Frog, Ivy Broomrape, Greenish Warbler, Bee-eater x2 #teammoth #ukwildlife

Yellow Belle, Dungeness #teammoth

Just had great views of a Stoat bouncing along the approach track to Dungeness RSPB @darthjulzz.bsky.social #ukwildlife

One for @rwhooster.bsky.social here 😂 #dramaqueenmoth #teammoth

Just put the moth trap out and there's four male Stag Beetles flying around the garden #teammoth #ukwildlife

Pale Prominent NFY, Brown Silver-line and a fuzzy low light photo of Green Pug which has now flown off. The trap was very full but it was almost all Treble Lines #teammoth

Poplar Hawk-moth warming up on my hand, getting ready to head off into the dusk #teammoth

Marbled Brown posing for photos before it got too hot. Lures currently hanging in the garden: Red-tipped, Red-belted, Yellow-legged. 'In for a penny' and all that #teammoth

31/15 in the trap this morning including our second ever Marbled Brown, VC17 #teammoth

Be sure to provide fresh water for the wildlife on this scorcher of a long weekend #ukwildlife

Clouded-bordered Brindle posing for photos this afternoon #teammoth

Clouded-bordered Brindle ✔️ at last!! Poplar Hawk-moth (always nice) and Setaceous Hebrew Character NFY are the pick of last night's trap #teammoth

Overnight temps forecast for the next few days here. These are 9pm and 5am temps. No wind in the forecast, the waxing moon could be an issue by the end of the long weekend but the temps look great #teammoth

White Ermine NFY and Pale Tussock from an hours trap yesterday evening. I have had to photograph them on the gate as it is the only part of the garden out of the wind. No trapping tonight. It's looking good after that, though 👌 #teammoth

Some bits and bobs from yesterday. Baby Rabbits, most of a Painted Lady, a couple of inquisitive Grey Seals and a Spitfire thrown in for good measure #ukwildlife

Lydd on Sea VC15, after nearly a week of no trapping, I gave in and put 2 actinics out, which resulted in 28 of 13sp. A number of NFY’s, the highlight being this White Spot, bit of a Dungeness specialty. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Shears posing in the garden #teammoth

Just 3 moths in a rather chilly trap. The Shears is NFY. Treble Lines and Shuttle-shaped Dart kept him company, VC17 #teammoth

A few moths from the last couple of nights #teammoth

Banded Demoiselle and Common Blue Butterfly seen in the last couple of days #ukwildlife

12/9 last night including Bird's Wing, Scalloped Hazel and Cinnabar all NFY, VC17 #teammoth

Poplar Hawk-moth and Sycamore posing for photos #teammoth

I think that this is a Sycamore. Isn't it a bit early, though? #teammoth

May Highflyer ✔️ and the first Hawk of the year, plus Turnip, Flame Shoulder, Heart and Dart also NFY made for a nice trap 😊 #teammoth

Maiden's Blush and Waved Umber from yesterday evening's trap #teammoth

This is a bit more like it. 2 hours with the black light yesterday evening #teammoth

Treble Lines was NFY last night, VC17 #teammoth

Just been looking at Hedgehog cam's overnight footage. There were lots of moths in the garden overnight but only 5 individuals went in the trap. They came to the garden, flew around and then went off. I'm hoping the collective expertise of #teammoth may have an answer?

Azure Damselfly and Beautiful Demoiselle from this morning's walk #ukwildlife

Despite the promising forecast, just 5 species in the trap this morning. Yellow-barred Brindle and Willow Beauty both NFY. Nut-tree Tussock, Bee Moth and Pale Mottled Willow also made an appearance #teammoth

Pale Tussock looking very fluffy #teammoth

Our first Pale Tussock of the year turned up to a short evening trap #teammoth

Streamer from last night's trap #teammoth

Get in!! Streamer ✔️ A moth that I really wanted to see has fallen. Whoever it was who said they are almost always facing downwards was right, VC17, 27.04.26 🤔 #teammoth

Small Copper and Blue-tailed Damselfy were NFY today. Banded and Beautiful Demoiselles also seen but they were camera shy #ukwildlife

It's getting ever more hopeless. Just one LBAM and one White-shouldered House-moth this evening plus our first Cockchafer of the year #teammoth

Nut-tree Tussock on the wall at work #teammoth

Shuttle-shaped Dart NFY just dropped in #teammoth

Just one moth in a short evening trap. It's too cold to trap overnight. Brimstone Moth NFY #teammoth

Comma seen on a short walk just now. Lots of Holly Blue around too #ukwildlife

Sika at Arne RSPB today. I have never seen one flare it's rump fur before. It was paying very careful attention to a dog on a lead. Large Red Damselfly, Sand and Common Lizards, Green Hairstreak, Clouded Yellow were also new for year. There were a few Emperor Moths around #ukwildlife
