A marvellous mothtrap of 84 today with large, luscious and late highlights: the awesome Clifden Nonpareil, a brace of the always stunning Merveille du Jour, and a rare second brood Swallow-tailed Moth 💥 #teammoth #salopmoths

Always great to find a Red Underwing in the mothtrap, such charismatic creatures. Also got in on the ocellatella craze, and shook hands with a beautiful Antler Moth #teammoth #vc40

I think a Scarce Bordered Straw just dropped in. Grabbed this shot before it threw itself in the MV #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

This Scarce Bordered Straw fought its way through the rain last night to get to our garden #mothtrap south of Shrewsbury. Great record!

@mike_shurmer @dorsetmoths Just one, solitary Early Moth for me in the whole of Feb. Mind you, I didn't have the #mothtrap out much

Diamond-backs are coming... at least 74 of these tiny migrants in last night's #Shropshire #mothtrap @mike_shurmer

It used to look like this with walls falling apart and holes covered with metal sheets at night. Not the #mothtrap it used to be so we replaced the box :)

Another Diamond-back in last night's #vc40 #mothtrap - more migrants or home-grown??

Despite not putting the #mothtrap on until midnight, and oversleeping until 8.30, the sticky stormy morning produced a huge 268 moths of 48spp #mothsmatter #vc40
