Hi Sean obsid not sure on this but I am assuming wormwood? @mothiduk.bsky.social

Hi Sean thought this might be a golden rod?? If so a new one for me @mothiduk.bsky.social

Hi Sean obsid says this very small plume is hemp agrimony??? @mothiduk.bsky.social

A mature emperor moth larva crossed my path in Brittany to go with the younger one from Pembroke!

Hi Sean any ideas on this micro?? Thanks @mothiduk.bsky.social

Found this nfg by the front door while trying to get its namesake in for the night!

Last out of the trap and almost missed it. A first small marbled to light in Lifton VC4 @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

I’m really not very good with these kittens assuming this is a sallow due to flight season but it was quite large! @mothiduk.bsky.social any tips for easy id?

A new one for me last night in the trap. The attractive white shouldered marble

My first bordered straw to Lifton Devon VC4 plus 2 rush veneers and diamond backs.To light 16/6 @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

Once again not sure on this pug. Grey? @mothiduk.bsky.social

Hi Sean not sure on these are they brindled or beautiful? @mothiduk.bsky.social

Some finds on the Pembrokeshire coast path!

Nice to see the first double line and small clouded brindle of the year

Nice to see plenty of orange tip caterpillars on the garlic mustard. Hope they don’t cut the hedge

Really lucky to have a regular supply of the beautiful ruddy carpet

Not sure if this tortrix can be identified? @mothiduk.bsky.social

Amongst over 60 species were two new ones for me. Pseudotephusa paripunctella and incurvaria oehlmanniela. Who came up with these names? A nightmare to record!

I don’t see frosted greens every year so always a treat😁

Hi Richard inspired by your post I checked the plentiful greater stitchwort on my afternoon walk. Only found this one but assume it’s C.lutarea @richardfoxbc.bsky.social

Hi Sean about to dismiss this as an early small square spot but didn’t look quite right. Thought it might be a white-marked ? @mothiduk.bsky.social

Hi Sean still not sure about this pug oak tree? @mothiduk.bsky.social

My first ever chocolate tip. Nearly missed it clinging to the trap wire in the rain!

Pleased to capture my first grey birch!

Nice to see the first Lunar marbled brown of the year. Yet to catch a marbled brown!

Nice to see the first brindled pug of the year

Hi Sean not sure on this? @mothiduk.bsky.social A.notana/ferruga?

Very pleased with my first ever yellow horned showing off his yellowy antenna.He has been joined in the trap by diurnea flagella,common quaker,march moth,hebrew character & early thorn

First night of serious trapping this year and the warmer conditions attracted oak beauty,early thorn,double striped pug,common quaker and a.heracliana agg so far!

Only these two furry friends in the trap last night

To christen my bluesky account these were new moths for me this year!
