After a year or so of working in Essex it would have been rude not to go and see the fantastic Fisher's Estuarine Moth recently. As good as mothing gets - awesome moths in a wonderfully atmospheric setting. Great to see the equally-rare Hog's Fennel specialist Agonopterix putridella too #UKMoths

@andymus.bsky.social has pointed out that my "Oak Hook-tip" looks more like a Spiny Hook-tip, which I wasn't even aware of and is extremely rare. Bigger than an OHT with a grey cast to the wing and different markings near the hook. #teammoth #ukmoths

Really surprised that even in my suburban new build in Chichester I’ve got to 100 species of moth in just a couple of months of trapping. And #100 was the best so far, a truly stunning Merveille du Jour! What a spectacular creature! #teammoth #ukmoths #sussexmoths

Autumn moths can be beautiful; we caught this Merveille du jour (Griposia aprilina) and two Black rustics (Aporophyla nigra) -aka the 'lichen camouflaged' one and the 'black velvet'one. #ukmoths #mothsmatter #cambridgewildlife

Last week my hubby found a pale tussock caterpillar. I’ve never seen one before. I was away from home, so he put it in tub with some oak leaves. Picture two is what I was greeted with when I came home. I still haven’t seen a pale tussock caterpillar 😮💨

Despite wind and rain, some cracking autumn moths at Old Lodge SWT Reserve last night.
Autumnal Rustic, a very obliging Lunar Underwing, Deep-brown Dart and Barred Sallow.

Interesting catch in Tilehurst last night, amongst the Lunar Underwings & Square-spot Rustics ... a Garden Cockroach (Ectobius vittiventris), which seems pretty unusual this far west. #teammoth #ukmoths #cockroach #ectobius

"Found in my veg patch on Saturday! Crawled out from under my pumpkin plants! Had to Google to find out it was a Deaths-head Hawk-moth! Never seen one before."
