- Welcome to the annual ‘How Many Mervs?’ competition! If you’re not familiar with the fabulous Merveille du Jour moth, they look exactly like lichen! Good luck! #teammoth #mothsmatter #ukmoths #bugsky
- Completely besotted with this velvety rhubarb and custard wonder - the Autumn Emperor Moth (Saturnia caecigena) - the highlight of last night’s trap on @greenwingstours.bsky.social Moths of Slovenia 💛🩷💛 #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky
- FINALLY broke my Clifden Nonpareil duck!! 🥳😅 I almost choked on my gasp when I found this stunning bat-sized bucket-list lifer under one of the eggboxes in my trap 🤩💙 #teammoth #mothsmatter #ukmoths #bugsky
- Silver-spotted Skipper floof on floof 😍 @nationaltrust.org.uk @southdownsnp.bsky.social Newtimber Hill #ukbutterflies #bugsky
- A freshly emerged beauty sitting out a passing storm at a private site managed by @rspb.bsky.social on our fabulous @greenwingstours.bsky.social Swallowtail weekend. #papiliomachaonbritannicus #norfolkbroads #ukbutterflies #bugsky
- Found this magnificent beast @kneppwilding.bsky.social a few days ago. Looking forward to catching up with him/her on the wing next month when leading the Purple Emperor Trail for @greenwingstours.bsky.social #hisimperialmajesty #apaturairis #ukbutterflies #bugsky
- Greater Butterfly Orchid @kneppwilding.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social #wildflowerhour #orchidchallenge
- Twiglet moth time 👏😁 Buff-tip (Phalera bucephala) from my trap in the garden. #ukmoths #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky
- Delighted to get this lifer in the trap: Peppered Moth f. carbonaria (dark form). The speckled white form (typica) regained its dominance in the 1980s and I have caught several of those over the years, but this is my first carbonaria 🖤 #teammoth #mothsmatter #bugsky
- My favourite butterfly on the first day of my favourite month 💚💚💚 #mayday #greenhairstreak #callophrysrubi #britishbutterflies #ukbutterflies #bugsky
- Of all the #woodlandplants Toothwort has to be one of the most unconventional, with its chlorophyll-less pallor, living parasitically on, in this case, Hazel, in a @southdownsnp.bsky.social woodland. #wildflowerhour
