#teammoth Inspired by @cliveaderbys.bsky.social a quick mooch at Rose End Meadows after work. Good numbers of Chimney Sweep & Burnet Companion. Also 2 Orange-spot Piercer, 3 5 spot Burnet. 2 species of Orchid but no Bee Orchid found. Plus Broad-bodied Chaser. #moths #insects. As usual, others missed
🦋 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
#teammoth A couple more for #MothFaceFriday from my North Derbyshire garden VC57 #DERBYSHIRE @savebutterflies.bsky.social @derbyswildlife.bsky.social @derbyshireuk.bsky.social #MothsMatter #wildlifephotography #moths
LIME HAWK-MOTH & ELEPHANT HAWK-MOTH
#Nature A shimmering little Rosemary Beetle 🪲 found close to the Lavender plants 🪴 in my garden. It glistened like a gem in the sunlight 🌞 #insects #macro #DERBYSHIRE @derbyshireuk.bsky.social @obsidentify.bsky.social @derbyswildlife.bsky.social #wildlifephotography #beetles
The Peacock won #BritainsFavouriteButterfly @savebutterflies.bsky.social BUT, for me the Swallowtail (Papilio Machaon) has to be my favourite 🦋🦋. Seeing these for the first time at @rspbstrumpshawfen.bsky.social was amazing 🤩 . #Norfolk #Butterflies #NatureIsMagic #WildlifePhotography
#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
