I hadn't realised it was a parasite of another fungi. Have always loved seeing it but never realised it's relationship

Interesting spider in my Norwich bathroom a couple of days ago? ObsId suggests Lepthyphantes minutus, but I'm far from certain. Any idea @britishspiders.bsky.social ? Will iRecord

A new Ladybird species for me this morning. Adonis Ladybird (Hippodamia variegata) found hibernating in some dried beans from the allotment that were being podded.

Nice harvestman on the moth trap this am. AI is suggesting Odiellus spinosus. It is large, but is it large enough? And is the saddle too dark - more like Lacinius ephippiatus? If all the white dots on it are tubercles then I guess it's the former? @vannabartlett.bsky.social can you help? #bugsky

I've been going through some old pics & stumbled upon this. Caught 8/6/21 and recorded it as Pseudococcyx turionella (Pine Bud Moth). But I'm now wondering if it is actually Pseudococcyx posticana (Dark Pine Shoot Moth). No measurements I'm afraid. Any thoughts @mothiduk.bsky.social? #teammoth

The Sorcerer from Kenfig last night. Finally got up the courage to remove it from the pot (after some others had seen it). As far as I know, fourth British record and first for Wales. Thanks to everyone for moral support during my meltdown. But, what a moth! #TeamMoth

We spent the day on Portland today. No visit is complete without dropping in at the obs. Not many birds about but some cracking moths still hanging around! Two Convolvulus Hawk-moths, two Striped Hawk-moths & Scarce Bordered Straw. #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky

Highlight from last night's moth trap in Charmouth, Dorset. Only the second Clifden Nonpareil I've caught (and only seen one other!). No words needed. Such a treat. #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky #blueunderwing

Sharp-angled Carpet trapped overnight in Charmouth, Dorset. Pictured resting on the light fitting above the trap. A new species in the UK for me, I've previously caught these in Normandy, France.

Some moth-y highlights from my first two nights trapping in Charmouth, Dorset. Anania crocealis (Fleabane Pearl) is new for me. Sharp-angled Carpet & Portland Riband Wave are both UK firsts for me. And this Jersey Tiger is the first I've trapped in the UK. #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky

Interesting blastobasis sp.(?) on the fence this am. App is confident it's B.phycidella, I'm not convinced looking online, I think it may look better for B.rebeli (Black-banded Masoner)? Help/opinions welcome! @mothiduk.bsky.social @cambsmoths.bsky.social #norfolkmoths #mothsmatter #teammoth
