    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Hi Andy - in your post of 13/7 you've got Palpita vitrealis down as Cydalima perspectalis - slip of the keyboard I reckon! Cheers Paul

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Andy, could it simply be Double-striped Pug? I've been caught out by this one around the Med, they seem more colourful than at home. Cheers Paul

    November Moths 2022

    Very interesting to see this species which I hadn't heard of! I know our european Winter Moth (Operophtera brumata) is an invasive species in North America, I didn't know there was a closely related native species. Cheers Paul

    Funny-looking diamondback?

    Agreed - with that stance and shape I think it has to be Diamondback. Paul

    Devon moths Pt 1

    Could 5 be Least Yellow Underwing? Cheers Paul

    Presume Lesser-Spotted Pinion? and other (description only) NE.London.

    How about Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing? They can be pretty pale (albeit not really concolorous), and they're massive and frenetic. Cheers Paul

    Odd looking Plume, North Wales.

    I'm hopeless on plumes but this does like like Scarce Light Plume (Crombrugghia laetus) - is that what you had in mind by any chance? Cheers Paul

    Loryma egregialis for #1? Cheers Paul

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    Could the last one be Lustrous Least Carpet (Idaea filicata)? Cheers Paul

    A couple of nights ago, NE.London?

    Looks like a March Moth to me, Ken. Cheers Paul

    Moths and other critters in my Cypriot garden

    I've used Moths and Butterflies of Europe and North Africa and Lepiforum e.V. to good effect on holidays in France, Italy and Spain, they both have good thumbnail galleries (though you have to search around a bit to find them). Might be of less use as far afield as Cyprus though! Cheers Paul

    Assistance needed in NE.London please.

    How about Gem? Cheers Paul
  18. R

    Geom? NEast London.

    I'd say that's a rather early Mottled Umber - a form that looks confusingly like a Scarce Umber. Cheers Paul

    September Moths

    Apologies, don’t know how I missed that! Paul

    September Moths

    It ain't gonna be that at this time of year John. Without seeing the moths, could I suggest Vine's Rustic maybe? Cheers Paul

    Australian Moths and other garden observations

    To echo Aeshna's comment: great to have you back, keep em coming! These records are amazing, and I'm sure an important contribution to the natural history of the area. Cheers Paul

    Help moth ID!

    I reckon #1 might be a caddisfly. Not sure of species though! Cheers Paul

    Moths! Been a while

    Ahhh sorry I overlooked that you'd said that in your original post! Yes I'd definitely be going in this direction, but I think records of woodiella generally won't get accepted without dissection. Cheers Paul

    Moths! Been a while

    Ephestia sp. maybe? (With wing shape distorted a bit due to curved glass of pot). Cheers Paul

    Blossom Underwing?

    For me it's a Small Quaker, albeit an unusually strongly marked one. It would have made me think of Blossom Underwing too. For what it's worth, the only time I've ever seen Blossom Underwing (a couple of years ago in Cumbria), it stood out a mile from the other Orthosias in the trap - it just...
