keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Quality not quantity in Ashurst, New Forest this morning! I've waited 26 yrs to see Dusky-lemon Sallow, but there it was, nfg, along with Scarce Bordered Straw, nfy. 3 Vestal the only other migrants. #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 2323
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It's that time of year when I get withdrawal symptoms from the sparsity of micros, so the Metalampra italica this morning in Ashurst, New Forest was welcome, as was the Acrocercops brongniardella earlier this week. Brick & Clifden Nonpareil nfy during the week #teammoth 1160
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Oncocera semirubella is still a novelty for me in Ashurst, New Forest so it's difficult to resist a bright one from this morning's MV. Vitrealis & Dark Spectacle the best of the migrants, alongside Heath & Autumnal Rustics, plus my 4th Wood Cricket of the year #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0160
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 19/09/2026So this is my first attempt at leaf mines for a long time, but I think this might be Stigmella sakhalinella, in birch, in Ashurst, New Forest - I would be vey open to correction as I think it would be new for the square. #teammoth 273
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Some nice moths in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, including 4 nfy taking the garden year list to 617. Red Underwing scarce for me, while Scarce Silver Lines, Autumnal Rustic & Dioryctria sylvestrella among my favourites #teammoth 0170
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Hedge Rustic was a nice garden nfy in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, along with my 2nd Hedge Rustic of the week, plus Acleris sparsana & Mullein Wave nfy over the last few days. Migrants included plebejana, 8 Vestal & a further Dewick's Plusia #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 1151
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Mega-excited to turn over the tray to see a Shining Marbled this morning! Back up migrants of Dewick's Plusia & Oncocera semirubella, 5 Vestal. The forecast heavy rain at dawn meant I almost didn't run my garden MV last night in Ashurst, New Forest ... #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 4421
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Crambus hamella was a nice 2nd for the garden in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, alongside an uptick in migrants with 7 Vestal, 2 Delicate, 1 SMW #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 1181
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 18/08/2026This is only the second Rhodophaea formosa that I have caught in Ashurst, New Forest, & what a beautiful thing it is! The evening light was not so great for photograph - it is a great looker! Just down to single Small Marbled & Delicate today #teammoth 0261
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 16/08/2026The great moths keep coming! Blastobasis rebeli nfg (along with Strophedra weirana) in Ashurst, New Forest, plus Great Oak Beauty nfy. Difficult not to post one of 2 pristine Scarce MdJ, plus migrants 2 Small Marbled, 4 Delicate, 4 Vestal, Beet, amplana, 7 Corn Borer, sylvestrella #teammoth 1180
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I thought a Striped Hawk was never going to materialise in Ashurst, New Forest, but this morning proved me wrong! 2 other nfg were Ancylis comptana & 2 Oncocera semirubella, plus Silky Wainscot 2nd for garden. Toadflax Brocade, Delicate, 2 Vestal, DSG, 63 noctuella, 2 Light Crimson U, etc #teammoth 2381
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Mompha propinquella is such a cool moth with its scale tufts & patterning, among a big uptick in moths in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, along with Dotted Clay & Mirificarma mulinella as more regulars. Large numbers of noctuella & SMW, but no migrant megas #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0140
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 09/08/2026An uptick in the regular migrants (Vestal, noctuella, SMW, etc) & nfy Treble-bar & Peach Blossom in Ashurst, New Forest, but no great excitement. This tiny smart leafhopper Aguriahana stellulata had me on edge for a few minutes until I realised it wasn't a moth! #teammoth 0140
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Anania crocealis & Adaina microdactyla the best of the nfy in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, the latter incredibly tiny & delicate. Aroga velocella also nfy, & 1 Vestal, 1 amplana the best of the sparse migrants #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0171
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I've lost track of the large number of Lesser Broad-bordered YU that I've checked the underside of the termen for Langmaid's YU, but then today in Ashurst, New Forest a nfg where all features fitted! Also my 2nd Apodia martinii, but not a very cooperative one #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0130
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Musotima nitidalis is the New Zealand native that is now widespread in southern England, nfy in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, along with the distinctive Acrocercops brongniardella also nfy - the latter is much scarcer for me. Best of the migrants was Dark Sword Grass #teammoth 0100
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Ypsolopha sequella is a regular in Ashurst, New Forest, but always great to see. 2 amplana, 1 Vestal & 7 Small Mottled Willow the best of the migrants for me #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0302
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I'm not sure I have caught both male & female Ringed China-marks on the same day many times before in Ashurst, New Forest, but always illustrative to see the dimorphism. Bordered Straw & 2 Vestal the best of my migrants today & the year list nudged up to 541 #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0221
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Shark was really nice to see in Ashurst, New Forest this morning - a once every few years moth for me, while yesterday's Anania verbascalis is nationally scarce - we have the Wood Sage just outside the garden #teammoth 0240
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Toadflax Brocade was nfy this morning in Ashurst, New Forest - my first records were last year, so it looks like its expansion from the coast is continuing #teammoth 1160
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 19/07/20262 Beet Moths (Scrobipalpa ocellatella) were the best of a sparser catch in Ashurst, New Forest, along with 2 Light Crimson Underwing and 2 amplana, 23 SMW, 11 ferrugalis & 15 noctuella as migrants #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0211
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Assara terebrella (nationally scarce) & Small Rufous are less than annual for me in Ashurst, New Forest. Cedestis subfasciella is regular but I just think it is a beautiful moth! Palpita vitrealis & 3 Cydia amplana the best of the migrants #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0171
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 17/07/2026The great moths keep coming! Cydia amplana nfy & (remarkably) Oak Eggar was nfg (though seen nearby several times before) in Ashurst, New Forest this morning. Further Small Marbled & Ethmia quadrillella. #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0261
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The Small Marbled in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning was only my 2nd ever, & likewise the Jersey Mocha & the Ethmia quadrillella. The Band-winged Wingwaver (?) fly in the trap has no previous Hants records on iNaturalist, but I guess it is underrecorded #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 1241
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Dichomeris alacella was a rarity when I 1st documented it in Ashurst, New Forest 15-20 yrs ago, now more widely recorded. The Sorhagenia is my first; likely janiszewskae but I have no experience with the genus & it will remain sp. unless @wheatersdave.bsky.social thinks it worth gen det #teammoth 2140
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Small Scallop is almost annual for me in Ashurst, New Forest, & a lovely, delicate moth. Gem is a more regular but scarce migrant - this one was my second of the year in a less busy trap this morning #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0251
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 12/07/2026125/730 (503 for the yr) meant a busy morning in Ashurst, New Forest! Great to join the Acrobasis tumidana club (nfg), plus Delicate, 37 SMW, 34 noctuella, yet another Cr bordered Green Pea. Another Lesser Cream Wave, plus Sallow Kitten difficult to resist a pic! #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 1352
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 11/07/2026117/722 in Ashurst, New Forest, today, with some nice scarcities for me: 2 Twin-spotted, 1 Brown-veined & 1 Southern Wainscots, 3 Plain Wave; 3 different species of Bucculatrix (incl nigricomella). Migrants sparse apart from 29 Small Mottled Willow, 67 rorella #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0221
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Sparganothis pillariana is bit of a New Forest specialty that I get in the garden in Ashurst, New Forest, approximately alternate years #teammoth 180
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Sparganothis pillariana is bit of a New Forest specialty that I get in the garden in Ashurst, New Forest, approximately alternate years #teammoth 010
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I'm pretty sure this is Paratalanta pandelis (nfg) from the MV in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning but views welcome! Always nice to see the first Light Crimson Underwing of the year #teammoth 180
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I'm slowly getting a bit more engaged with the beetles that come to my moth trap in Ashurst, New Forest, especially when there are an inch long like this one! I think it is Rust Pine Borer (Arhopalus Rusticus) but any views from those more into #beetles would be appreciated 100
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Ethmia quadrillella & Endothenia quadrimaculana were nfg in a great set of moths in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning, with a nice supporting cast of Lunar-spotted Pinion & my 3rd ever Dewick's Plusia, 5 SMW & Pearly Underwing as migrants #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 1241
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Lesser Cream Wave was very nice to see in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning - it is quite some years since I last caught one. Coleophora albitarsella was nfg, but escaped in the dining room before I could get a half decent photograph, so just an 'in pot' pic I'm afraid! #teammoth 0120
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Any thoughts on this Blastobasis from Ashurst, New Forest this morning greatly appreciated. It doesn't look like any adustella I've ever caught before, & I'm tempted to consider vittata (that I've never had here before), while suspecting that coming off the fence will need gen det #teammoth 2110
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Another nice set of moths this morning in Ashurst, New Forest. Pseudopostega crepuscelella is tiny & runs fast, but a bit of a specialty here, while Argolamprotes micella is beautiful & just my 2nd, as was the Fern. Broom Moth is just a great 'look' when fresh #teammoth 190
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Dark Umber was a long overdue nfg in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, while Waved Black is annual, but always nice to see (among over 1000 moths in total!) #teammoth 2190
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Evergestis limbata & Common Lutestring were among the nfy that took me over 400 for the year in Ashurst, New Forest, while yesterday's Blue bordered Carpet & Festoon are among my favourite moths #teammoth 040
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Digitivalva pulicariae (Fleabane Moth) was a nice nfg in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning & Least Carpet was my first for several years #teammoth 090
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 22/06/2026After being away working overseas for the 11 nights, it was great to have Etainia decentella as a very smart (if tiny!) nfg in Ashurst, New Forest this morning #teammoth 090
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Metzneria lappella was an overdue nfg in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, but it was a pretty sparse other set of moths other than Bordered Straw nfy #teammoth 0151
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Palpita vitrealis was a nice nfy in Ashurst, New Forest this morning, along with a couple of Small Mottled Willows #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0251
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 07/06/2026It's not a great photo in the evening light, but this Nemapogon koenigi came to the kitchen window in Ashurst, New Forest late afternoon & is way better than anything I had this morning. Just my 2nd one for the garden. #teammoth 0150
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Four-spotted Footman, Rustic Shoulder-knot & a couple of other nfy took me over 300 species for 2026 in Ashurst, New Forest, but it was wet! A few migrants: 1 noctuella, 1 xylostella, 1 ferrugalis, 3 Silver Y, 2 Small Mottled Willow (but no stripes...) #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0212
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Grey Arches, Dusky Brocade & Acrobasis marmorea were all nfy in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning, along Clay Triple Lines #teammoth 1150
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Eudonia delunella is a regular in Ashurst, New Forest, but always nice to see. Also another Cream-bordered Green Pea & yet another Rosy Marbled just about made up for getting very wet during a sharp shower this morning! #teammoth 1110
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Ptocheuusa paupella is a distinctive but local Gelechid that I've seen a few times before in Ashurst, New Forest, & Orthotaenia undulana is scarce for me. No EBS on the migrant front, but 36 xylostella, 2 ferrugalis, 3 Silver Y, 1 SMW #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0201
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Epermenia aequidentellus is a nationally scarce new addition to the garden list in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning. Very few records away from the coast #teammoth 1170
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 29/05/2026A rather unexpected uptick in migrants in Ashurst, New Forest, this morning with first Gem for the year, plus 6 Silver Y, 6 Small Mottled Willow, 2 ferrugalis, 1 noctuella & 1 Clancy's Rustic (nfg). Lilac Beauty always a pleasure to see! #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 0242
keithgodfrey.bsky.social @keithgodfrey.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Cream-bordered Green Pea is one of my favourite moths & less than annual in Ashurst, New Forest, but Sandy Carpet is much scarcer with just a handful of records. 4 SMW, 7 xylostella, 1 Silver Y & 1 ferrugalis, but no exciting migrants as yet... #teammoth @migrantmothuk.bsky.social 1351
