Probably my fav moth seen #InMyGarden - though rare - is the Gold Spot. I’m looking out for it as September approaches. I did get a pic of one last year, as you see. It has a great name. Plusia festucae - presumably bec it looks like a rich jewel (as in Greek ‘plousios’, rich) & likes a habitat of tufted-grass (festuca).
It also likes damp habitats, exactly as my garden is now after weeks of rainy days. 🌧️

The first time we got the moth trap out this year, and we caught a couple of Hebrew Characters (Orthosia gothica).

Not expecting much, if anything, but if a Chestnut or Satellite or Spring Usher comes my way, I'd be delighted. Anyone else in the UK seeing much at the moment? #mothing #moths #mothsofmastodon

On a bathroom wall in Taiwan. So badass. Macrocilix mysticata, one of the hooktip moths.

That's pleasing. This winter has been especially bereft of moth around my house, but I just encountered this chap glued to my inside wall. Possibly got in on some wood for the fire. I think it's an Agonopterix rosaciliella, which would be the first new species of the year. Mazel tov!
