I need some help #teammoth Is this a Scarce Bordered Straw, or am I in completely the wrong ball park? From south Norfolk last night @norfolkmoths.bsky.social

Pleasant surprise on the Bumblebee transect in Wheatfen, Norfolk today #teammoth @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social @norfolkmoths.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social

Just seen this petition I am not sure how the hunt is justified in the light of the avian flu effects on seabirds www.thepetitionsite.com/534/977/314/...

#TeamMoth Can this little beauty from last night's trap in south Norfolk be identified to species? I think it is Parornix @norfolkmoths.bsky.social

A lovely first for our garden in south Norfolk @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Purple Hairstreaks are starting to emerge at an accessible colony Stockton in South Norfolk. If you would be interested in taking a look we will be setting a date for a field trip in the next few days. Contact [email protected] to express an interest. #savebutterflies📷 Bob Eade BC

This handsome beast is the Robberfly Choerades marginatus at #wheatfen Surlingham, Norfolk @dipteristsforum.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social @flygirlnhm.bsky.social

Delicate? From South Norfolk last night #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Yesterday's WCBS near Bungay, Suffolk was fairly low on numbers, but it was nice that the second most numerous species (after Meadow Brown) was Small Tortoiseshell. Also nice to find 2 Small Heaths in the field where there is usually a single one 😂 #butterflies #wcbs

Amazing to find a huge web of Small Eggar caterpillars on a new hawthorn hedge in farmland in South Norfolk @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social @norfolkmoths.bsky.social #teammoth

Urgent! Volunteers needed! Live near Ely, Cambridgeshire? Time to make 2 visits (1 in June, other in Sept) to a farm ditch? Why not help ‪@rspbengland.bsky.social‬ survey Water Voles to help farmers conserve them? volunteer.rspb.org.uk/opportunitie... @elystandard.bsky.social‬ ‪#cambirds

Our first one is out!!!!! This is this year's first in our meadow @norfolknats.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social #nomowmay

Thought I would post some pictures for #wildflowerhour Both these species from our fields Our 'meadow' is not a Bird's-foot Trefoil monoculture (honest) I think that the Water Crowfoot is Ranunculus peltatus

This was the first caterpillar that I identified to species as a child, so it always seems special when I find it. Here it is on birch in my garden, South Norfolk #teammoth #caterpillar #norfolkmoths

Please help #TeamMoth Is this a Seraphim, or am I missing something obvious Any help gratefully received @norfolkmoths.bsky.social

Since Donald Trump is freaking out about Bruce Springsteen calling this the most corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration, it would be a shame if this video was shared even more widely...

Nice to see an early male Common Blue butterfly yesterday @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social #butterfly #blue #norfolkbutterflies

Any #hedylidae experts out there? This came to light in Mindo, Ecuador 19/4/25 I have tentatively identified it as Macrosoma / Phellinodes interrupta, but this is not recorded in western Ecuador #teammoth #americanmoths #butterflymoth @georgemcgavin.bsky.social

Bought this from @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social reserve of Carlton Marshes I am hoping that it will keep me entertained for the 12 hour flight to Ecuador @waspwoman.bsky.social

In Feb we released a Kestrel that was shot & injured but recovered in our care. Thanks to a GPS tracker, it’s now flown from Malta to Sicily & Stromboli! This Saturday’s #WalkForNature supports our rehab centre, trackers & school gear. Apr 12 | 09:00 | Salina fb.me/e/1GhBTg1Jw #SupportConservation

So, #TeamMoth, is this a Common Quaker with the orbicular and reniform stigmata merged? #norfolkmoths In the trap this morning in south Norfolk

West Papua’s Indigenous people have called for a boycott of KitKat, Smarties and Aero chocolate, Oreo biscuits and Ritz crackers, Pantene and Herbal Essences, over alleged ecocide in their territory

Finally, a butterfly in the garden #gardenbutterflies #norfolkbutterflies

Small Brindled Beauty moth coming to get you #TeamMoth #mothface

Large Tortoiseshells have been reported in Kent over the last few days, it is possible they could turn up in Norfolk. If you see what you believe to be a Small Tortoiseshell it worth taking a closer look 📷 Adam Gor BC #savebutterflies

www.khamai.bio/pitalala_res... I think that this is really important Please support if able and repost Khamai Foundation are a small organisation doing great things
