#teammoth #MothsMatter Inspired by @cliveaderbys.bsky.social I decided to try some daytime mothing at Parsley Hay #DERBYSHIRE VC57. I was left scratching my head lots, it’s tough! Pleased to add (I think) Wood Tiger, Brown-spot Grey, Hook-streaked Grass-veneer, Silver Y. Several others missed……
#teammoth A hectic day means a late post from North Derbyshire #DERBYSHIRE VC57. A few NFG 🥳🥳 28/29th May, total 49/22. A worn Small Mottled Willow, Scalloped Hazel x2, Common Swift and a trio of Green Silver-lines. #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social
🦋 A few of the Silver-studded Blue butterflies that I managed to add to the life ✅ list last week whilst visiting #Norfolk @savebutterflies.bsky.social #nature #NatureIsAmazing
And for @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social (I managed to get the name right this time) 🤭 #WildlifePhotography #MacroMonday
🦋 It’s been easy to photograph Painted Ladies this past week in North Derbyshire as they arrived in huge numbers during the mini heatwave. I lost count how many I saw. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies @derbyswildlife.bsky.social @derbyshireuk.bsky.social #insects #Nature 🦋
#teammoth At last, a hat trick 🤩🤩🤩 of Hawk-moths. Both the Pine and Lime Hawk-moths were new for me ✅. Along with the Poplar these are a trio of absolutely beautiful moths. #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #DERBYSHIRE VC57. #Nature #NatureTherapy
#TeamMoth I can be a bit of fickle with my new garden moths ✅……..new favourite 🤩 is now the Elephant Hawk-moth. This one from 3/6/26. Just 22/20 but happy to add this beauty to the garden list. #DERBYSHIRE VC57 #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social @britishnatureguide.bsky.social #moths #insects
#teammoth #MothsMatter Inspired by @cliveaderbys.bsky.social I decided to try some daytime mothing at Parsley Hay #DERBYSHIRE VC57. These micros are probably common but I haven’t got a clue who they are. A few suggestions on obs. iRecord currently out of action. Any help please fellow moth-ers.
#Teammoth I promised the Mrs I wouldn’t obsess with birds whilst in Norfolk for her birthday. Instead I sneakily filled my camera roll with bugs instead! July Belle, Garden Tiger & Drinker cats 🐛, plus a glorious poppy field @savebutterflies.bsky.social #MothsMatter #moths @norfolkmoths.bsky.social

#TeamMoth Back home from a couple of days in Norfolk so I had to run the garden trap last night #DERBYSHIRE VC57. 29/17 with 4 NFG 🥳, Beautiful Hook-tip, Currant Pug, Coronet, and an escapee Cinnabar!
Also great to have another LIME HM. #MothsMatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #nature
