Two splendidly unexpected 'new for me' #moths could not resist the actinic last soir. Large Ranunculus and Large Wainscot go on the jardin list. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

17/8 in Old Catton, Norfolk. Best was a nfy Brindled Green and a well marked Carcina quercana. Also, nicely marked Lunar Underwings continue to please the eye. #norfolkmoths #teammoth

As I was setting up the actinic, I found this furry cat. Ruby Tiger, do we think? I've had lots of them this year. #teammoth

I'm on the outskirts, next to lots of open farmland and some decent woodland. 20 miles from the east coast, so always a chance of a migrant.

Switching to the actinic ce soir. Cool here, but wind has dropped, so who knows... #teammoth #norfolkmoths #trappingtonight

In lieu of any moths, due to inclement conditions, here are my #Koi #Carp. The pond is establishing nicely and they seem very happy. It's another nice thing to do as the world seems to slip into absurd chaos.

Black Rustic was the highlight of a stormy trap in Catton. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

When I released mine yesterday evening it circled up and up and up until it was out of sight. Lovely to watch.

A very suave Clancy's Rustic was the pick of the bunch last soir. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Side salads of The Sallow, Lunar Underwing and Silver Y, to go with Le Grand Bleu yesterday. #teammoth #moths #norfolkmoths

Couldn't believe it when it was sat there this morning, inside Le trap! A little swear word may have popped out 🤣.
