Pammene aurana, Double Orange-spot, at East Malling, Kent, this evening - a lovely wee micro that is a daytime-flying Hogweed specialist. Worth checking out your hedgerows for it... @kentfieldclub.bsky.social #TeamMoth #kentnature #ukwildlife @savebutterflies.bsky.social

A sort of #MothFaceFriday seeing that night time Mothing is dire at the moment, had me some daylight lovelies in the form of some Green long-horned Adela reaumurella this afternoon on the #Darlandbanks. #teammoth #kentnature

Two good records this morning with an Oak Beauty on the shed wall and an Engrailed on the fence, or do we now call all examples of the the latter Small Engrailed? Boughton-under-Blean. #teammoth #kentnature

Great field meeting at Borden Nature Reserve near #Sittingbourne today. @spg73.bsky.social has mentioned some species we recorded. Others included the Common Green Colonel soldier-fly, and, just as we were about to leave, Fiery Clearwing moth & eggs! #Kentnature #TeamMoth #KentMoths
Two members of Kent Field Club crouched down to examine plants in grassy vegetation surrounded by scrub. Common Green Colonel Oplodontha viridula. A fly with a bronze sheen to its head and thorax, and an abdomen which is bright green with a broad, central black mark. A small black oval on a red stem. A very close-up view of an egg of the Fiery Clearwing moth on Curled Dock.

Teeny-weeny Cypress Tip Moth from the moth trap this morning. Full disclosure on the ID: started with an app, went to the book, hoping for confirmation from iRecord. #moths #TeamMoth #KentNature
Close-up image of a very small, slender moth seen from the side. Head (to the left) is white on top. The wings have a pattern of criss-cross lines and spots in pale brown against a whitish background.
