Hidden moth population found after 70 years
A hidden population of one of #England 's rarest #moths has been found at a site where it had not been seen for more than 70 years.
Evie Lake, 13 August 2026
"Head of conservation at #ButterflyConservation Dr Dave Wainwright has spent his career searching for the dark bordered beauty and said he felt an 'overwhelming feeling of relief' when they were found at #WallingtonEstate, in #Northumberland.
"For decades, the only site where the moth was found in England was at Strensall Common, in Yorkshire, but the population there has been in decline due to #ClimateChange and a wildfire.
"The discovery has given conservationists new hope for the species and opened up the possibilities of where more can be found.
"Once widespread across northern England and Scotland, habitat loss has caused significant decline in the #DarkBorderedBeautyMoth.
"The custard-and-chocolate-coloured moth was found at the National Trust site previously but had not been seen since 1952."
[...]
"The moth's caterpillars will only eat two plants - #aspen and #CreepingWillow - which makes it a challenge to conserve, according to #ButterflyConservation."

#MothOfTheDay is one of several from the wainscot family. Named by Carl Linnaeus after the wood-panelling effect, but I struggle to see it myself. Nevertheless, it's a neat and beautiful moth from a busy moth box last night:

Yucca filimentosa blooming beautifully at the nursery! A native of the southeastern U.S., it depends on a particular moth for cross-pollination and seed dispersal, and the Yucca moth depends on it for food. https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Invertebrates/Yucca-Moths #Plants #Flowers #Moths

Buff-tip moth, Phalera bucephala, larvae seen on yesterday's dog walk, and an adult from the garden this morning.

went down to lake and saw some good bugs
1. long-jawed orbweaver (_Tetragnatha_)
2. crambid moth (one of the grass-veneer moths, tribe Crambini), so confident in its camouflage as a hollow grass blade I could get quite close
3. also very well camouflaged _Eustala_ orbweaver
4. dolichopodid fly with fly prey?#ArthroBeauty #bugstodon #DailySpiderPic #spiders #insects #mothstodon #moths #flies #Araneae #Tetragnathidae #Araneidae #Lepidoptera #Crambidae #Diptera #Dolichopodidae

#MothOfTheDay is a regular summer visitor:
SETACEOUS HEBREW CHARACTER
Xestia c-nigrumNamed after the stigmata on its wings said to resemble the Hebrew character nun (נ) and its setaceous (bristly) thorax (as opposed to early spring's Hebrew Character which is not setaceous)

@naught101 @anahemsworth @sundogplanets
this probably just useless curiosity, but I wonder if an ecology journal that publishes papers on the ecology of nocturnal animals (bats, moths, etc) might be interested in it.

POPLAR KITTEN (left and top right)
Fircula bifidaSimilar to Sallow Kitten (bottom right). Differences - Poplar Kitten much larger (1.5 x size), less bold contrasting features & central dark band has straighter, smoother outer edge. Sallow band edge more scalloped.
