Frosted Orange testing it's camouflage on the wall paper, good effort. π€ St Austell #teammoth #cornishmoths #ukmoth
Almost didn't see this Pale Prominent with its twig like appearance, well probably if it had been on a tree trunk. #teammoth #cornishmoths #ukmoth
Just about managed to capture it on my phone.

A reason why we have let our front garden go wild, umpteen bee species and pollinators and always great to see a Hummer turn up. #UKMoth #TeamMoth @epollard.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @bc-hertsmiddx.bsky.social @bc-cambs-essex.bsky.social
Six-spot Burnet moth
One of the Six-spot Burnet moths I mentioned earlier. Seen at Woodwalton Marsh. Not to be confused with Woodwalton Fen, the Marsh is basically a meadow alongside the railway in Wood Walton #teamMoth #UKMoth
Burnet Companion moth
Beautiful Burnet Companion moth at Woodwalton Marsh. The name might suggest that they're present when the burnet moths are around, sharing the meadow habitat, but usually their flight periods don't overlap that much except there were Six-spot Burnet around yesterday so who knows? #teamMoth #UKMoth
Hairy caterpillar, larva, of The Drinker moth
A larva of The Drinker moth at Monk's Wood, Cambs
Euthrix potatoria #teamMoth #UKMoth
Linnaeus called it potataria to mean "like a drinker", Goedaert had called the animal "dronckaerdt" meaning drunkard
The larvae purportedly drink droplets of dew from grass stems
Blue-bordered Carpet moth on a leaf in dappled sunlight
There were also several Blue-bordered Carpets flying around at Brampton Wood, a new moth for me #teamMoth #UKmoth
41 of 23 last night, 14 of them Heart & Dart. Always lovely to see Elephant Hawk-moth and Cinnabar, but nothing else as big and bright. #teamMoth #UKMoth (11C and dry, just north of Cambridge)
A pale yellow, triangular moth with brown splotches along the outer edges of it's wings. The wings are slightly unfolded and it's maybe an inch across in size. It's resting on my boyfriend's ceiling and I took a photo of it using the zoom and flash on my phone at night (so the photo might not be the best quality).
My boyfriend and I were just visited by what I'm pretty sure is a brimstone moth! It's currently chilling out on his ceiling. Wikipedia has a better photo: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brimsto.... I love getting to see our local moths.

Another 3 new moths for my Bewdley garden this week in Worcestershire; Olive-tree Pearl (3), Rusty-dot Pearl (2) and Varied Ochre, plus my favourite moth, Merveille du Jour, 3 last night #teammoth #ukmoth
October might be βtrick or treatingβ but November Moth is already here. I think this is a Pale November Moth that casually came in the front door for the light but perhaps safer to say it is one of the Epirrita #ukmoth
Late decision to put out the MV trap last night, 10 species, 2 of which were new for my Bewdley garden; Streak and Frosted Tortrix (Exapate congelatella), two photos of each in different light #teammoth #ukmoth
Delicate
Feathered Ranunculus
Olive-tree Pearl
Marbled Fern
Thornham (Norfolk) moths from earlier this week in our holiday cottage garden; Delicate (3), Feathered Ranunculus (2), Olive-tree Pearl (2) and Marbled Fern #teammoth #ukmoth
Two moths only in trap this morning in VC75 one was a first though Grey Pine Carpet and Silver Y was only other #Teammoth #insect #wildlife #ukmoth
New moths for the garden in Bewdley (Worcs) this week, a fresh looking Campion and Tawny-fronted Straw (Neocochylis molliculana) #teammoth #ukmoth
Brimstone moth
We had a nice visitor overnight to the bathroom! A brimstone moth has decided to rest up in our house.

A slow start to September in the garden. (after a record poor August)
Saving graces were a Sand Martin in with the House Martins, of which there is still at least one active nest, 2-3 Marsh Tits and todayβs random #UKMoth on the wall - Willow Beauty. A bit high for a decent photo

Garden devoid of activity, a Hobby over (yesterday at least there was a Hobby and a Willow Warbler) Hopefully the Easterlies will turn things around.
Random #UKMoth discovery this morning, was this amazing, and new to me, Old Lady. Iβll avoid the obvious Mrs. Prof jokes. π
