- 1/5: Final update on new moth species encountered in the Loire Valley this week. I think this individual might be my overall favourite. Willowherb Yellow Underwing - completely off my radar, not in the UK field guide - thank you in App AI!! #teammoth #mothersmatter #bugskyJul 13, 2025 08:13
- 2/5: From the gaudy to the downright dull! Porter's Rustic, not a "looker" for sure! Eurodachtha pallicornella, as with Willowherb Yellow U/w, not on my radar, identified via App - again, not that fancy! Here are pics of my second Passenger to brighten this post up! #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky
- 3/5: Here's another nice one. Guernsey Underwing. A worn individual on the night of 11th in the Loire Valley was my first, then these two last night (12th) in Normandy were much more photogenic. #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky
- 4/5: Final new species encountered in the Loire Valley. A stunning Spotted Sulphur (Acontia trabealis), sadly this was the only pic I managed as it rapidly departed. Idaea rubraria, hat-tip to App AI for flagging this one. Giant Grass-moth (Ancylolomia tentaculella). #mothsmatter #teammoth #bugsky
- 5/5: notable "others" (for me). Black V-moth, White-foot Moth, Radford's Flame Shoulder & Phoenix. #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky
