Art and nature. South Wales. UK.
From the LED trap in Nantyffyllon Tuesday night. I took an actinic as well but the bulb went on strike. #TeamMoth #mothsmatter
Struggling with this gelechid from Maesteg last night. 9mm long in shrubby grassland. #UKmoths #mothsmatter #TeamMoth @mothiduk.bsky.social
Phoenix from the Maesteg garden actinic last week. Less than annual here, so nice to see. #TeamMoth #mothsmatter

No luck with Star-wort in Maesteg last night, will try again later in the month. 51 species to the LED and actinic traps with very few micros, prob because of the condensation, very wet traps! #TeamMoth #mothsmatter
Trying for Star-wort tonight in Wales. Found plenty of larvae here four years ago but grass fires have proliferated here most springs since. #TeamMoth #mothsmatter
Nice to see 3 glow worms at Ogmore down on Monday night. #beetles #glowworms #UKbeetles #insects
