hastingsmothmanMild night produced 14 <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> of 5 species. Still the usual quakers and drabs, but had a mint Hebrew Character, and probably my very earliest Bright-line Brown-eye - not the prettiest of moths, but this is particularly early in the year to be seeing them. Another few weeks and numbers/diversity will pick up and species will change.<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MothsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MothsMatter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entomology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a>

hastingsmothmanMore Common Quakers (pic 1) and Clouded Drabs (pic 2), but first sighting in 2025 of an Early Thorn, one of the leaf-mimic moths. Not as bright and colourful as some of the thorn moths in the height of summer but nice to see one nonetheless (pics 3 & 4). See how the light affects its colouration. 3 & 4 are the same moth.<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MothsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MothsMatter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entomology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a>

hastingsmothmanLight rain and cloud meant a few more moths (and a bumble bee!) came out to play at 'Chez Mothman' last night.Still no real species diversity yet, but, compared to last year, <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a> numbers seem encouraging. May/June/July will tell for sure.First sighting in 2025 of the very unfairly named CLOUDED DRAB. Yes, like me, he's plain and unexciting, but undeserving of such an unflattering moniker.<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MothsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MothsMatter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/naturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entomology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a>

hastingsmothmanMilder night last night so chanced the <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a> box. Still early in the year so very few species / numbers yet (roll on May/June). More Common Quakers (x4) & Early Grey (x1). Also first sighting in 2025 of Oak Beauty and Small Quaker. Moths on my finger today are...1) Oak Beauty (top left) 2) Small Quaker (top right) 3) Common Quaker (BL) 4) Early Grey (BR)<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MothsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MothsMatter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/MothsAndButterflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MothsAndButterflies</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/wildlifephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlifephotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a>
