It's been awhile since I left my trap out in my garden (it had been quite wet).Just these three - Red Green Carpet, Angle Shades & Black Rustic, in the trap this morning😢. Hopefully, the trap I left out at work has a better result! 🤞

Amongst the assorted yellow underwings was this Yellow Ophion ichneumonid wasp. It parasitizes Heart & Dart caterpillars. Nature red in tooth, claw, and ovipositor. #Teammoth #Mothmatters

I've had the Slender Burnished Brass (Thysanoplusia orichalcea, "ORI") out for a few weeks now (along with the NI Moth lure) - this morning was the first Plusia to give either more than a passing sniff... 6th Dewick's Plusia of the year. One of ths smartest Plusias to my eye #teammoth #mothmatters

It's in a bit of a hurry crossing a path! I think this is a White Ermine moth caterpillar, probably looking for a cosy place to settle in and start the next process of its lifecycle.

#SaveTheBees #UrbanJungle #HoverflyHeaven #MothMatters #UrbanBuzzkill **By: TheJestPress.com** **Urbanization Linked to 43% Drop in Pollinating Insects: Developers Celebrate with Concrete Cake** In news that’s sure to bug you, a groundbreaking new study has found that the dreamy fields and flowery meadows urban planners keep stuffing under high rises are linked to a whopping 43% drop in pollinating insects. No, that’s not the amount of pollen you’ll find in your $12 oat milk latte—it's the population crash of bees, moths, and hoverflies who dare flutter too close to civilization.

Sadly, it has been poor haul in my moth trap the last 2 nights at 2 different locations within a site. Both nights produced only a few species when this time last year, one of the locations had 200 moths, 47 species. Climate chaos? #mothmatters #teammoth

With the warm weather, I was hoping for a better result from the moth trap in my garden last night. Unfortunately, only a small haul of just 10 moths, 8 sp. A few photos - Flame, Cinnabar, Heart & Dart and a lovely caddiesfly, Athripsodes bilineatus. #natureconnection #mothmatters
