A record 72 Four Spotted Footman in the trap this morning following less than favourable conditions overnight. Certainly established locally! VC15 #teammoth

Spotted Fritillary

Dordogne... Two acres of grassland, untouched and full of knapweed, absolutely crammed with butterflies. Walking through produced clouds of fritillaries, yellows, blues and browns. The connected habitats and lack of human interaction makes for a hugely biodiverse space that is refreshing to see.

They turn this colour when they're ready to pupate 👍🏼

I must have taken about 50 photos of it 🤣. Caught 2 here now and the second one got photographed just as much. I just can't resist!

Scopula tessellaria

Moth trapping with a black light in France (Le Mans & Dordogne) recently has produced some amazing species that I would love to see in my home trap! #teammoth #mothsmatter

Although common here in my garden, it's always nice to see these two colourful micros: Y. dentella and C. pinella. VC15 #mothsmatter

One of two presumed migrant C. amplana caught over night. Other migrants included 3 silver y, Small Mottled Willow and 4 N. noctuella. VC15 #mothsmatter

Lesser-Spotted Pinion was the highlight amongst 92sp over night. Possibly the first I've ever knowingly seen. Also of note: 3x Light Crimson Underwing, Olive Crescent, Jersey Tiger and Dusky Hook-tip. VC15 #mothsmatter

Thanks Tim... I thought the hashtag was in the post. Is it not displaying?

Thought I'd jump on the bluesky wagon and open my account with this cracking Clouded Magpie caught last night on a misty, moonlit site near Orlestone. #mothsmatter #teammoth
