Whats the difference?

Can’t say I checked and I’m away now-why, what is the confusion?

@britishbugs.bsky.social Is this one Alloeotomus gothicus? From the moth trap

Cheers👍

Thanks!

@britishbugs.bsky.social I appreciate these arent the sharpest photos, but is this Malacocoris chlorizans?

Thank you

@megabunus.bsky.social Hi, is this Phalangium opilio? I retained it if the photo isn’t sufficient. Thanks

@britishbugs.bsky.social Hi is this Megacoelum infusum? From Oak. Thanks

Pochazia shantungensis seems to be the general agreement

Gorgeous!

Thanks. I went back to check today and it was Pendunculate

I use irecord not inat, is irecord okay?

I’ve detained it, but I’ve got absolutely no idea what to do with it. Any ideas?

👍

@britishbugs.bsky.social Something a bit different this time-just found this at work (garden centre). What on earth could it be?

@britishbugs.bsky.social I have this Alebra sp, and I can’t remember what sp of Oak it was from. Does viridis also have this colour form or is this form exclusively albostriella? Thanks

Thanks, should have potted it!

@megabunus.bsky.social Hi, is this Mitopus morio? Thanks!

Elachista maculicerusella

Buff Arches

Muslin Footman

Eucosma campoliliana

A few more year ticks last night and the list for the year is now at 272. Highlight was NFM Elachista maculicerusella, but some lovely year ticks including Eucosma campoliliana, Buff Arches and Muslin Footman. #mothsmatter

Thanks, I tried to pot but it was too speedy. Next time

I

@britishbugs.bsky.social I had this in the moth trap last night-I assume the dark hind tibia makes it Orthocephalus coriaceus? Thanks

Nice one cheers

Please excuse state of photos and specimen!

@britishbugs.bsky.social Hi, got 3 of these from willow yesterday. I had been seeing Orthotylus marginalis all day and these just stuck out as different, so I was expecting Lygocoris rugicollis. The first antenna segment is green and so are wing membranes, not sure if pronotoum is right tho. Thanks

Palpita vitrealis

Hemp Agrimony Plume

Gypsonoma aceriana

Fab night last night, still got a few to check but garden year list now on 261, 3 lifers being Hemp Agrimony Plume, Gypsonoma aceriana and the star of the show, an incredible Palpita vitrealis. Was over the moon to finally get one of these, best of all in my garden trap. #mothsmatter

The night of 21/06 was incredible with 2 Scarlet Tigers and White Point being NFG, 9 NFYS and 3 lifers, Endothenia marginana (gendet), Ypsolopha ustella and Cammeria brittaniodactylus. Year list now on 253 #mothsmatter

Elephant Hawkmoth

A quartet of Leopard Moths

Orthotylus marginalis

Quality over quantity last night, an astonishing 4 Leopard Moths being the highlight, also 3 Elephants and 1 Poplar HM. Year list slowly climbing still, at 224 now. The Mirid Orthotylus marginalis was NFM last night too. Today was made great by a Collared Pratincole at St Aidans though! #mothsmatter

Thanks!

@britishbugs.bsky.social I also have this one from the other week, is it Apolygus spinolae? I am not sure if the cuneus can be seen enough in this photo? From the photos on the website, it seems to be the only Apolygus with red eyes like this. Thanks😁

@britishbugs.bsky.social sorry but I think you missed this post :) I’ve now got the Eupteryx to melissae and I’m pretty sure on the ID, its just the Dicyphus if you don’t mind😁
