Wondering if "we were busy marvelling at the contents of our moth trap" would be accepted as a valid reason for the kids to be late to school? 🤔🫣😅

✨ Moth magic this morning! ✨
Four stunning Swallow-tailed Moths in the trap - and plenty more fluttering around at dawn. This was my first moth trap but I'm guessing it's peak season for these elegant summer visitors.

Westleton #mothtrapping 2 new for me last night, Dwarf Cream Wave and Yellow Oak Tortrix. Blotched Emerald and a prile of Hawkmoths appreciated too...

Some from last week in my urban Chester garden. Barred Yellow always nice to see, a striking moth as is the crowd pleaser, Elephant Hawk-moth. Willow Leafcone and Long-winged Pearl were new for the garden. @recordlrc.bsky.social #lepidoptera #mothsmatter #gardenwildlife #mothtrapping

March Moth
Just checked the trap before by bed, and spotted the March Moth on the outside. Some others inside, but couldn't get a good shot. We shall see what the morning brings. #Moths #MothTrapping #Mothtastic
Common Quaker
Hebrew Character
Satellite
We have #Moths 3 in the trap this morning. Common Quaker, Hebrew Character, Satellite. #MothTrapping
It was a much warmer night, initially foggy but that cleared and a clear night.
Satellite moth
Put the #MothTrap out this evening, did a quick check and found this little fellow. I think its the Satellite. Hopefully find some more later and in the morning #Moths #MothTrapping #MothMadness

Put the #MothTrap out, don't expect anything as there is already signs of a frost... #MothTrapping #Moths
Inspiring @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social online session on ‘Enhancing #Biodiversity in Museums’ this afternoon - with a case study by @ashwhiffin.bsky.social ranging from #mothtrapping to #NoMowMay. Some things we do at @thebaytrust.bsky.social but ideas for a few new initiatives too :-)
Storm Bert and a freezing week in Norfolk meant no #mothtrapping for me this week. So, here are a couple from earlier in the year. Couldn't quite work out how to twirl the Dewick's round 😁.
Trudging through the mud to service the River Mole trail cameras and totally wasn't expecting to come across this Crimson Speckled moth! Apparently an influx of these being seen especially around the coast, seems like a good year for them #BiodiversityGatwick #mothtrapping
Final #mothtrapping of the year at Brockley Wood. New spp to me were Green Brindled Crescent, Satellite & Brindled Green. The Hornets snaffling the Dusky Thorn were not my favourites. Good species diversity this year but low numbers overall @HorshamWildlife #BiodiversityGatwick
Some autumnal niceties in the trap last night in Wimborne: Grass Emerald, Angle Shades, European Corn Borer, Orange Swift (female dark form) 16 species in total #mothtrapping #wildliferecording @DorsetMoths
#mothtrapping along the River Mole last night, a nice diversity of species tho still light on numbers. Some of the usual early autumn suspects : Sallow, Burnished Brass and White Point a few highlights, around 33 species total #BiodiversityGatwick @barnard_ian @HorshamWildlife
