Needs a dissection to be sure

Could well be John

Hi John
That would be a very rare moth in the UK, I think there are only a couple of records all told. I'm awaiting a video of them being sent to me

Anyone know what these can be. There are dozens of the caterpillars in procession. they've formed a ring, near Beltingham, Northumberland. #Teammoth #VC67moths

Scallop Shell (Rheumaptera undulata) It's the hundredth record for Northumberland and the first coastal record. #Teammoth #VC67moths #moths #UKwildlife

Even that's out of date, I cannot update the site anymore. But I still have the active database running if you want to submit your records to me

Just ignore that program, nobody bothers with it as it's outdated. This moth is common in our region

Pine Hawk-moth (Sphinx pinastri) is a new species for Northumberland, caught overnight in Tynemouth, just such a shame it's so worn. ##Teammoth #VC67moths #moths

Yponomeuta irrorella

That was my initial thought Damian, but then I saw images of a male Grass Emerald

I caught this moth overnight, normally I wouldn't bother with such a worn moth, but I keep looking at it and it reminds me of something that I should know. Just for fun what are people's thoughts. #VC67moths #Teammoth #Moths
