Light Brown Apple Moth first time I have seen one with its wings open. @ukbutterflies @MothNight @BritishMoths @ButterfliesEM

Elephant Hawk-moth is pretty common but it's akways so cool to see them in the traps. Pink as you can get! Two at the MV trap last night (VC76) @BC_SWScotland @MothNight

Counted three mullein #moth #caterpillars in the #garden today. I know they can be devastating to some plants but even so all welcome as plants can be replaced and #wildlife can’t. #conservation #nature #environment #GardeningTwitter @savebutterflies @BritishMoths @MothNight
