Neglected Rustic (Xestia castanea) - North Antrim - August 2025. This species is beginning to appear. Quite a plain looking moth, but the dark hindwing with the coloured fringe looks smart. #moths #mothsofinstagram #mothsmatter #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

Gold Spangle (Autographa bractea) - North Antrim, July 2025. This beautiful moth appears to be having a relatively good year locally.#moths #mothsofinstagram #mothsmatter #teammoth #gcampbellphoto #savebutterflies @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social
Went to try and see Purple Emperor, came away with Dark Crimson Underwing, Dusky Sallow & a Sulphur Pearl. All new for me...no Emperor mind, but no need to mention that.

Dustox loves the sun, who wouldn’t? ☀️
Like moth to a flame, I hope this short passes on some warmth to take with you wherever it meets you. Let me know if that warmth leads to seeing a cool bug.

What do me and this moth have in common?….We both love coffee! Yup this is Pyrausta tyralis, the coffee-loving pyrausta moth. Its host plant is wild coffee!
