Red Admiral on our mahonia just now 😊 #butterflies #ukwildlife

Mottled Umber ✔️ and another Winter Moth on the wall at work #teammoth

Winter Moth on the wall at work #teammoth

Pine Carpet on the wall at work #teammoth

Just one Red-green Carpet this evening before the rain set in. That may be it until February #teammoth

A selection of Deer that I've photographed in recent years #UkWildlife

Clouded Yellow photographed back in September for #SundayYellow

Thomas showing off his teeth #cats #catsofbluesky

Just found a Red-green Carpet in the trap, VC17 #teammoth

LBAM so far, VC17 #teammoth

Four species of Hawk-moth were recorded in the garden this year. Elephant Hawk-moths have only started turning up in the last couple of years since we planted the Jasmine #teammoth

Winter Moth has been joined by a November Moth on the wall at work #teammoth

There were no moths in a soggy trap yesterday evening, but a Winter Moth on the wall at work this morning is new for year #teammoth

A moth from The Gambia for #MothMonday reminding me of warm, sunny times #teammoth

12 years ago today I saw this beautiful Hawk Owl in The Netherlands. Also seen that day were Two-barred Warbler, White-tailed Eagle, Short-toed Treecreeper, White Stork and lots of Smew #birding

Could this December Moth be the last moth photo of the year? Next week looks pretty cold #teammoth

Blast from the past: Moths seen years before I was a moth-er. Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth & Wood Tiger at Martin Down, Cream-spot Tiger at Hurst Spit, Magpie at Shipton Bellinger and Clouded Buff at Yateley Common #teammoth

Just found a Turnip on the wall #teammoth

This is the moth that I wrote down as Chestnut after viewing it in artificial light last night. It looks different in natural light. Obs says it is Dark Chestnut? If it is, it would be a tick #teammoth

Does anyone know how best to overwinter these eggs. I will keep them in the pot. In the shed maybe? #teammoth

It was so nice to get some moths last night. 9/6 in VC17. This Feathered Thorn doesn't play well with others! #teammoth

Just looking at 'what's flying' and there's still 13 macro ticks around for me. Surely I deserve one of them? #teammoth

Some of my favourite new moths from this year #teammoth

Red Squirrel from the Isle of Wight earlier in the year #SundaySquirrel

White-shouldered House-moth has staved off you know who for another night #teammoth

I got 44 macro moth ticks this year. This list was my most wanted list at the beginning of the year and the only two I got from the list I had already seen elsewhere 😄. The wanted list will be rolled over to next year #teammoth

It's been a successful season with the lures again! #teammoth

Our fluffy December Moth from the weekend. The weather looks cold for the foreseeable future, so barring any mild spells, it looks like that's it for the year #teammoth

Here's a photo of our 'new to the garden' Scarce Umber just as he spotted his escape route #teammoth

7 moths in the trap this morning, including Scarce Umber (✔️) 🎉 and our third ever December Moth #teammoth

Our 7th White-point of the year in VC17. Numbers have increased from 1 in 2023 and 2 in 2024 😊 #teammoth

13/7 overnight, Red-green Carpet, Grey Pine Carpet, November Moth agg, LBAM, RDP, Turnip and White-point, VC17 #teammoth

Red-green and Grey Pine Carpets on the wall above the trap, VC17 #teammoth

I'm assuming it was the 8°c temps that killed the kit off last night. The old battery which has recently been lasting 5 hours didn't even last 4 hours in the evening and the brand new battery didn't even last 6.5 hours overnight. Just one Silver-y sitting in the dark trap #teammoth

Cypress Carpet on the wall just now, VC17 #teammoth

@darthjulzz.bsky.social has just seen a Holly Blue in the road outside the garden #ukbutterflies

It's peeing down so I've packed it in for the night. Just 4x Red-green Carpet #teammoth

A quiet trap, although Rusty Dot Pearl is new for garden. Chestnut x2, LYU, Red-green and Pine Carpets, VC17 #teammoth

Tawny Owl calling as I put the trap out. It's mild, cloudy, and still tonight #teammoth

Just found a Turnip on the fence #teammoth

All I got was Red-green Carpet (3) and Grey Pine Carpet (2) 🙄 #teammoth

I think the wind is going to ruin things tonight. It's blowing a gale out there 🙄 #teammoth

Green-brindled Crescent, Red-green Carpet and November Moth agg in the trap this morning. The Vine's Rustic was from the previous night, VC17 #teammoth

Three moths in the trap this morning. Vine's Rustic, Grey Pine Carpet and this rather lovely Satellite. It's the first time we've had one of the orange marked ones #teammoth

Wall Lizards were enjoying the sunshine in West Sussex yesterday #ukwildlife

This lovely Feathered Thorn, only our second ever prevented an unwanted visit from you know who. I was surprised to get anything as the temperature fell to 7°c under clear skies #teammoth

I never get fed up with Merveille du Jour, and they seem to be having a great year #teammoth

Figure of Eight was a bit shy and wouldn't show off his lovely orange antennae. Not bothering with the trap tonight, too windy, VC17 #teammoth

A much wanted Figure of Eight turned up last night, and the Mervs keep coming, VC17 #teammoth

You Beauty! 😊✔️ #teammoth
