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

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 😁.

Moth trapping in S.Hants over the weekend attracted this bizarre visitor, a Wasp Nest Beetle, not just odd in appearance, but lifestyle too. A new species for me. #beetles #mothtrapping #gardenwildlife

Oh, thank you for this detailed answer! I do mothtrapping with an trap provided by @europebutterfly.bsky.social since 2023 but I always thought that the moths do not fly during rain.
