Found this tiny moth quietly resting on a leaf tip.
Simple moments like this are what make macro hunting worth it 🌿
Fun Fact: Some micro-moths are so small that people mistake them for dust, but under a macro lens their wing patterns can be surprisingly detailed.

Is this perhaps a Monopis #micromoth? Plymouth garden, 31/7/25. Seemed to have white face, whitish markings over top of wings away from head. Apologies if pics too poor. Thank you once again to @mothiduk.bsky.social for any comments.
Testing out the macro on my phone this evening... Open to ID suggestions for #Ladybirds and #MicroMoth
Tiny, beautifully marked moth called a Sulphur Bark Moth Esperia sulphurella
A beautiful little Sulphur Bark Moth Esperia sulphurella on one of our Lime trees yesterday #teammoth #micromoth
The Highland Nymph. Last year, I was lucky enough to be with my good friend Billy Dykes in a remote glen in the #Cairngorms when we located the first leaf mines & larvae of this #micromoth since the 1990s! Can you help join a Scotland-wide search in 2025?

Beautiful tiny shiny moth with long antennae on a green early Teasel flower head
Seeing all the Teasel in the fields made me think of this beauty I found near our pond in 2023
Nemophora cupriacella
Hope to find it again this year

Sheltering from the miserable weather
Tried finding some of the spp in Smart's #micromoth early stages book & collected some fallen Cypress branches to look for Argyresthia trifasciata. Thought the pale colouration could be natural degradation, so cut a section & saw a bore-hole(?). Confirmation of trifasciata?

This Yellow-tail larvae made me stop in my tracks last week. The angry glowing red, the deep contrasting black, the excessive hair... just amazing. #micromoth #moth #teammoth #ukwildlife 🦋🌼🌱🐛
I was very happy to find one of my favourite micro moths - Eulia ministrana (Brassy Tortrix) - resting on an Elder flower this morning. What a stunner! #micromoth #moth #teammoth #ukwildlife 🦋🌼🌱
Are these Adela reaumurella (Green longhorn moth) please? Lots seen along Boundary Brook, Lye Valley in Oxford yesterday. Apparently nectaring on Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata).
