Surprised to find a Four-spotted Footman on the security lamp last night, a bit late in the year for this species here. #teammoth

Tawny Pinion moth found on Ivy at the weekend, a lifer for me, and very few records for Ireland. #teammoth

So good to have some moths again! 17 of 10 spp. in Laois with Green Brindled Crescent x2 and November Moth agg x4 both NFY, and excitingly my 2nd ever Merveille du Jour. Here it is showing its size against Pink-barred Sallow and GBC. #teammoth

Red-green Carpet moth, seen on the house wall yesterday. This species emerges in Autumn, hibernates as an adult and flies again in Spring. #teammoth
