@MOTHIDUK Thanks again.

@peterhendry13 Hawthorn Moth (S crataegella)

Can you help with an ID please. @MOTHIDUK

@MOTHIDUK Thanks again Sean

@peterhendry13 Nutmeg

Can’t decide on this one can you help Sean. @MOTHIDUK

@MOTHIDUK Thanks Sean I have enough problems as it is colour didn’t help.

@peterhendry13 Argyresthia sp. The angle is giving the sheen a strange look, but I'd guess it's the golden form of A goedartella.

Can you help with an ID Sean seen in June. @MOTHIDUK

@MOTHIDUK All from late June Sean, thanks once again 🙂

@peterhendry13 Not from recently, I'm guessing? 1 Red-barred Tortrix, 2 Ancylis acatana, 3 Bryotropha affinis, 4 Swammerdamia nebulella

Can you help with IDs please @MOTHIDUK

@MOTHIDUK Thanks again Sean

@peterhendry13 That's a Cloaked Minor

Can you help with an ID please not sure myself both images of same moth. @MOTHIDUK

Couple of moths from last night. Clifden Nonpariel and Box-tree (have had regular sightings of the Box including white version). Really pleased with the Clifeden though.

@savebutterflies As requested hope they or okay.

We're on the lookout for recently taken photos of Red Admiral butterflies! 📸 🦋 If you've got one you want to share, could you please reply to this post with your image please... Thanks in advance! #BigButterflyCount

@MOTHIDUK Thanks again Sean

@peterhendry13 A arenella, that one

Can you help with an ID please Agonopterix ? @MOTHIDUK

Important to repost this occasionally - a reminder that however much good work people put in to conserve bird populations, there are other ways to boost populations dramatically. #birds #cats #population #wildlife #nature

@MOTHIDUK Thanks again Sean 🙂

Can you help with an ID please for 2 and is 1 a moth?@MOTHIDUK

@FlyinginFordham @BritishMoths @JLowenWildlife Thanks Ben first time I have picked up on it.

@peterhendry13 @BritishMoths @JLowenWildlife Yes it is a regular occurrence now as the workers leave the nest (They have now fulfilled their role and so are left flying around aimlessly). They regularly hover around our house wall and will pick off fairly large moths that are resting there. I try and pot them all up now.

Found this Wasp killing a Flesh-fly recently. Worryingly I think they have been entering the moth trap overnight and killing moths. Is this a common occurrence? In fact I saw a Wasp this morning attack a Large Yellow Underwing. @FlyinginFordham @BritishMoths @JLowenWildlife

@JLowenWildlife Hi James I had one on the 7 June in garden trap (VC57) S.Derbyshire lifer for me. By the way enjoyed “Much Ado About Mothing” and “A Gateway Guide” has been really useful in helping with IDs.

The Daily Moth 514. The classy micro called Metalampra italica was unknown in the UK until 2003, but has since spread rapidly. I’ve seen it at sev places in SE England and E Anglia, inc regularly in my garden. Who has had one (or more) at home? #MothsMatter #MuchAdoAboutMothing
