I've a soft spot for the Satellite moth. It's one of those species where the more you look at it the more intricate colours and patterns you see. #teammoth #mothsmatter

With some Light SE winds + favorable trapping conditions these two must have reached the North Coast of NI & my trap. Pale Mottled Willow and Setaceous Hebrew Character. From what I can see records wise, nether have been recorded here since pre 1970 + 2000 respectively. #teammoth

Some nettle jewels ftom today. Such an important plant. @BCNI_

At the time of year when many of the #moth species become varying shades of brown or worn with age, there are welcome standouts. The Boarded Beauty is one of them. #teammoth #mothsmatter

@LmetLinda @Butterfly_IE @savebutterflies @UlsterWildlife Love a Haworths Minor! A moth of moors and mountains!
