Sometimes late at night, ghost moths emerge from the darkness, haunting stressed forests and mourning the global ecocide that is driving their sister species to extinction.

Went to try and see Purple Emperor, came away with Dark Crimson Underwing, Dusky Sallow & a Sulphur Pearl. All new for me...no Emperor mind, but no need to mention that.

Dustox loves the sun, who wouldn’t? ☀️
Like moth to a flame, I hope this short passes on some warmth to take with you wherever it meets you. Let me know if that warmth leads to seeing a cool bug.

What do me and this moth have in common?….We both love coffee! Yup this is Pyrausta tyralis, the coffee-loving pyrausta moth. Its host plant is wild coffee!

Neglected Rustic (Xestia castanea) - North Antrim - August 2025. This species is beginning to appear. Quite a plain looking moth, but the dark hindwing with the coloured fringe looks smart. #moths #mothsofinstagram #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
