So this arrived today, I don't think that micromoths of the low countries have ever before been compiled in one (2 volume) guide before in such a clear and accessible way, with life cycle info. Anyone with interest in micromoths of NW Europe should buy this! knnvuitgeverij.nl/artikel/hand...

Micropterix calthella. This very common micro is a spring favourite.

Lots of these micromoths seen today on Birch, Argyresthia sp. I think

Pammene giganteana/Early Oak Gall Moth to SKI pheromone today in the garden, NFY. Nice to get a moth at last ! #moths #micromoths #teammoth

Lampronia rupella photographed in the French Pyrenees.

A very pretty species but sadly absent from the UK. #TeamMoth #MicroMoths

This very wee #moth was quite striking and new for me. I'm trusting Obs on this as Argyresthia spinosella. #micromoths #teammoth

Acleris bergmanniana June 2025. Lovely little moth found at dusk on the local cliffs this year, a new site. The larvae feeds on rose species. #moths #micromoths #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

A few notable micromoths recently, including this smart Acleris hastiana, plus a Hedya salicella, Etainia decentella (NFG) and a possible Grapholita tenebrosana (to FUN lure) to check. #teammoth #MothsMatter #YorkshireMoths @doublekidney.bsky.social

Pretty cool little species - Mompha locupletella. Swept from the duneslacks of White Park Bay.

Mines on Willowherbs so should really be plentiful but this was the first time I've come accross the adult.

Diurnea fagella (Early Reveller) - North Antrim, March 2025. Another of the early micromoths to appear. The females of this species cannot fly. #moths #mothsmatter #teamomth @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

I decided to follow the trend and make a collage of this year's first twenty NFG macromoths. I should have included a Least Black Arches, but I couldn't find the shot, so I changed it to an Obscure Wainscot (NFG, no. 21). I'll complete the macros before going on to the micromoths. #teammoth

In amongst work and life in Penicuik and Edinburgh yesterday I bumped into five new micromoths yesterday- including these four: Yellow-barred Gold, Strawberry Cutter, Firethorn Leafminer and Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner. The other was the Fern Moth Psychoides filicivora. What a day! #teammoth

Legions of lekking longhorns today, but I still can't find a Geoff... #micromoths #teammoth #mothsmatter

#teammoth The other day I commented on the distint lack of micromoths I'd encountered this year. At Buscot Park yesterday I was thilled to spot this very small moth (10mm). Turned out to be a Least Black Arches - actually a Macro!!!

Acrocercops sp. (I think)

One of the striking micromoths seen at our Perth Hills moth light. We've recorded this particular Leaf Blotch Miner Moth (Family Gracillariidae) a couple of times, although I can't determine which species it is.

Psyche casta Common Bagworm Co Armagh, June25. Hopefully correct on the id of this one from during the summer. A new species for me. The larvae of this moth constructs a case with vegetation. #moths #micromoths #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

I had a little bit of (lure) FUN y’day afternoon and this sp. Pammene whateveritisiana has taken my garden species count to 100!
There were 3, caught 2.
Pammene albuginana says ObsID but could feasibly be argyrana I reckon…top one is a bit smaller. Any suggestions appreciated #teammoth #micromoths
