These two moths were new observations for us, both seen in early November in a coastal area 150km north of Perth.

They look to be Australian Cream Wave Moths (Scopula perlata), although this species of Scopula is an eastern states species

Correction: iNaturalist suggests the moth on the right is a Casbia sp. (not Scopula sp.). I’m always learning!

Few moth from Leonidio/Greece. Still a good number of species in the dry landscapes - and many I have never seen before. So nice! #teammoth, #moth

A geometer moth or maeki-himeshaku (Scopula nigropunctata). A cream-colored moth with subtle design. I love finding these low-key moths in the forest and try to ID them. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano [August 2025] #Invertebrate #Insects #InverteFest

Cream-colored moth on leaf. There are grey patterns and black specks throughout the wing and body. There are three main zigzag lines that span the whole of the wing. There is a black knot line along the frayed-looking edge.

Moth trapping with a black light in France (Le Mans & Dordogne) recently has produced some amazing species that I would love to see in my home trap! #teammoth #mothsmatter

A lace-border moth (Scopula limboundata) rests among greenery, its wings delicate as embroidery. This daytime moment of stillness belies its nocturnal life. #moth #macro #nature #macro_insects #wildlife #croatia #Canon
A lace-border moth (Scopula limboundata) with pale, intricately patterned wings lies flat on a green leaf. The wings display a scalloped, delicate brown border and faint dotted lines across a cream background. Surrounding foliage softly blurs beyond the moth.

We reckon this may be a rather tatty Small Blood-vein Moth (Scopula imitaria), now safely released back into the garden... @norfolkmoths.bsky.social
The image shows a rescued moth with buff-coloured wings and a distinctive pinkish or brownish-red line across them. When resting, the wings are held flat. We believe this may be a rather tatty Small Blood-vein Moth (Scopula imitaria). We popped it safely back out into the garden after it came indoors.
