Well it's time to start a new thread for this year. I saw my 1st Red Admiral of the year yesterday & have had a couple of moths in the house & in the trap overnight.
The house moths come out of the firewood (I think), Ive had 3 around the computer this month, I just keep putting them back out Mompha subbistrigella
Photo taken of it in the plastic pot before I threw it out.
Then in the trap a couple of moths, Eudonia angustea, always around in the winter,
& this one which is several weeks early, not sure why, Orthosia incerta "Clouded Drab Moth"
Last years thread is here https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/206393/butterflies-moths-2020 for those that want to have a bit of bedtime reading.
Best wishes

Saw these on recent walks. Possibly a small copper and a somewhat battered comma?
We don't get many moths here, or at least I don't see many, except on the trailcams at night, so it was a pleasant surprise to see this white-shouldered house moth sunning itself on the grass....

The mad temperatures of the last couple of days + yesterdays intense thunderstorms have bought on a flush of flutters - Very excited to spot a Green-veined White in the garden this morning - and these absolute beauties
A very fresh Peacock
Speckled Wood, they have done really well this year and have not stopped patrolling the Beach hedge, they also like ripe blackberries
Painted Lady - I love seeing these in the garden
