Harry Rutherford<p>I went to Ockham Common today, where this Emperor moth was attracted by my powerful sexual magnetism (i.e. a pheromone-impregnated rubber bung from a specialist lepidopteran supply store).<br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TeamMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamMoth</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moths</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/ukmoths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukmoths</span></a></p>

Harry Rutherford<p>Not a great moth night, I don’t think they appreciated the cold wind. It was mainly a load of Common Quakers so I guess I should just be grateful the trap wasn’t raided by the Metropolitan Police. <br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TeamMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamMoth</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moths</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/VC17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VC17</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/littlebitofsatirethere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>littlebitofsatirethere</span></a></p>

Harry Rutherford<p>Pretty good moths last night. One new species, Small Brindled Beauty. One which is probably new but might need dissecting to be certain — I think it's either Caloptilia elongella or C. betulicola, either of which would be new for the garden. And I've thrown in a pic of a Dotted Chestnut bc it's pretty.<br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moths</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TeamMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamMoth</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/VC17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VC17</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/ukmoths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukmoths</span></a></p>
Harry Rutherford<p>That was not from today, that was from last September. But I did get 10 species last night, which is good for early March. Most crowd-pleasing was probably Herald:<br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TeamMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamMoth</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/VC17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VC17</span></a></p>
Harry Rutherford<p>Ooh, I've just noticed that my garden moth list is on the Number Of The Beast. I can reveal that the 666th and thus most satanic species is Plumed Fan-foot, Pechipogo plumigeralis. </p><p>Cower before its dark majesty.</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TeamMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamMoth</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/VC17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VC17</span></a></p>

Jo<p>Bit weird. Found these 2 buff tips mating on a runner bean plant, I suspect one came out of a chrysalis I found a few months ago and tucked into pot. I should say I thought they were a stick or I would not have touched them, (when I did I screamed and dropped them). However having picked them up they only had one leg between them 😱. I put them out of the polytunnel on a bank with a lot of vegetation and covered them with a leaf. They were gone a few hours later. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/mothdedon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mothdedon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/teamMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teamMoth</span></a></p>

hastingsmothman<p>I&#39;m waiting another three weeks or so to get the 2024 attracting, trapping, cataloguing and, of course safely releasing, night moths over the spring and summer. </p><p>However, did have a visitor the other day clinging to the back door, a rather tired looking BLOXWORTH SNOUT whose scales have faded to dull mottled brown. First moth spot of the year though.
