Reposted by Rob EdmundsJames Lowen Wildlife @jameslowenwild.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Always stay alert… Walking past some ivy on a southeast London street. My subconscious discerns a micromoth fizzing. Turns out to be Clepsis dumicolana. Turns out there are a dozen. Relatively recent, ivy-feeding colonist. And new for me. 1436
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I assume Bucculatrix bechsteinella is under recorded as it’s such an insignificant initial mine - just a small white ‘tick’ by a vein Here are some from the garden today #norfolkmoths 1181
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Hard to photograph Black Rustic, NFY, to do justice to its deep black colouration. Always pleased to see it in the autumn. Clancy’s Rustic and L-album Wainscot were other highlights last night #norfolkmoths 0160

Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 14/09/2026A small fly in the moth trap which I think is a tachinid Subclytia rotuniventris - parasitoid of sheildbugs @chrisraper.bsky.social 292
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Favourite plant this year was Herniaria glabra (Smooth Ruturewort). A small and insignificant plant which repays patient scrutiny along the forest rides on the Norfolk Brecks, looking carefully for the acid green patches of this plant. Such a bonus if you find it! #favouriteplants #wildflowerhour 0263
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 13/09/2026A sawfly miner I don’t find very often - Heterarthrus microcephalus. Forms tip blotches on Willows. This is from Weeping Willow today in the garden 0152

Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 10/09/2026One of my favourite miners today - Bucculatrix frangulella on Buckthorn. They make purple spiral mines initially.

Turn the leaf over to look for the whiteeggs clustered together in Pegomya 080
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 02/09/2026A lurid fungus on a willow trunk by the river at Ely today. Is it Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus)? 000
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 02/09/20264 Centre-barred Sallow last night! Such beautiful autumnal moths! #norfolkmoths 0274
Reposted by Rob EdmundsJohn Walters @johnwalterswildife.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Our largest moth the Death's Head Hawk most obvious when compared as a pupa to Convovulus & Hummingbird Hawks. The Convovulus pupa has a 'jug handle' extension where its 10 cm long tongue develops. The DHH lacks this as it has a very short tongue used to suck honey from honeybee comb. 37915
Rob Edmunds @vc28nature.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Always pleasing to find a Dark-bordered Pearl (Evergestis limbata) in the trap. Otherwise lots of Large Yellow Underwings, Flounced Rustic etc #norfolkmoths 0230
