Acleris schalleriana (Viburnum Tortrix)...probs.
The MV drew in 4/2 last soir, with a hat-trick of Dark Chestnuts and what I'm tentatively calling an Acleris schalleriana (Viburnum Tortrix). Good to be moving forwards. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
08.02.2026 17:21 โ ๐ 27 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I will try for some better ones. It was very lovely, hence the varied backgrounds ๐.

02.02.2026 14:05 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Some encouraging growth in my various terraria. Roots taking hold from cuttings, moss growing nicely. Some mould/fungal stuff but I love all that too so don't see it as a problem. #terrarium #miniworlds #moss

See what the big light can draw in, before the weather turns again and the traps are stowed. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
Here's the Double Striped Pug that I found, perhaps roosting, on top of my trap the other day. It escaped my finger as I brought it in to pot it, but reappeared on the kitchen wall this morning. Very early record. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

2/2 was the final tally here in VC27 and a good chance for an early season ID test. Chestnut on the left and a glossier Dark Chestnut on the right, with nice square cut wings. #teammoth #norfolkmoths
