These may catch your eye over the next couple of months, often seen in good numbers. The Green Longhorn demonstrating the diversity of our moth species. #mothsmatter
Well both my moth traps were empty in South Norwich this morning, but we did have a lovely furry Lime Hawk Moth sitting on the top of the actinic. A miracle it wasn’t gobbled up by a robin @BC_Norfolk
Go on give the mower a rest.
Go on give the mower a rest.
With a slight rise in temperature, no wind or rain the MV was deployed in the garden last night 12/6 #moths with 2 Muslin another Herald and Red Chestnut were nice to see again, seems a while since I’ve seen a moth ! @norfolkmoths @NorfolkNats @BC_Norfolk #mothsmatter
On Sunday 5th May some of our county recorders and specialist group co-ordinators are meeting NWT staff at Sweet Briar Marshes to find out more about how we can help record wildlife there. If that sounds of interest you are welcome to join us, details below:

Really not the best of conditions for this hardy male Orange Tip, nectaring/hanging on..... @BC_Norfolk @MarcusWRhodes
Not rare but being only 2/3mm long you never appreciate how beautiful some micro #moths are until you see them up close, Ilex Leaf-miner/Phyllonorycter Messaniella in the garden @norfolkmoths @NorfolkNats @BC_Norfolk #mothsmatter
Green Hairstreak on Beeston Common today our first ones out this year @BC_Norfolk
Lovely image
Lots of Holly Blue #Butterflies along the paths at work. This male was sheltering from the wind on a fence post. @savebutterflies @BC_Norfolk
Sometimes it pays to take a closer look as we did with a Frosted Green moth recently . #mothsmatter
A 6 year Garden Butterfly survey by Butterfly Conservation has found that wildlife-friendly gardening practices, such as having long grass and flowering ivy, boost the numbers of butterflies by up to 93% particularly in urban areas and near farmland
Of course all moths are brown & drab, or are they? This Streamer moth appeared in my moth trap at the weekend. #mothsmatter
Another special butterfly moment - as a second of the Large White caterpillars emerged this morning, originally moved from our #organic Brussel Sprouts in the veg garden last December & which tucked up as pupa at Xmas..... @MarcusWRhodes @BC_Norfolk @savebutterflies
Wensum Valley Birdwatching Society are delighted to welcome Patrick Barkham @patrick_barkham this Thursday evening, Gt Witchingham Village hall. Everyone welcome, £3 donation appreciated. Info wvbs.co.uk
From the Trap: Lesser Swallow Prominent, Pebble Prominent, Mullein & Frosted Green @BC_Norfolk
Friday nights balmy weather saw 71/26 #moths to the garden with 9 nfy with 3 of them (micros) nfsquare. The stars of the show were undoubtedly 2 Dotted Chestnut, a much longed for species and so stunning in the flesh! @norfolkmoths @NorfolkNats @BC_Norfolk #mothsmatter
Bluebells & butterflies with plenty of both at Mossymere Wood yesterday. #savebutterflies

Naughty girl! Mated female Peacock deliberately flew into a male territory this pm, egged him on, then told him she was washing her hair tonight and scuttled off...
Some good moths last night. The albatross round my neck has gone, last year’s escaped Peach Blossom has been replaced with a more cooperative one. 5 prominents - Pale, Iron, Lesser Swallow, Pebble and Great. Herald, Pine Beauty, Orange Footman, Mocha, Small Yellow Wave……..
Lovely day for butterflies in the garden - Peacock, male Brimstone, Holly Blue & Orange Tip so far enjoying the borders.. @BC_Norfolk

Well both my moth traps were empty in South Norwich this morning, but we did have a lovely furry Lime Hawk Moth sitting on the top of the actinic. A miracle it wasn’t gobbled up by a robin @BC_Norfolk
Love at first sight! 5 mins of glimmers brought the stranded pair of Orange Tips in my garden together. Instant mating, for 20 mins. They then separated but cuddled up together, they're still there now.
Despite the cold and wet weather, a few Green Long-horn moths (Adela reaumurella) were still about this morning on Beeston Common
