From the sublime to the ridiculous.

It's been a couple of months since I last put my moth trap out and on that occasion I got the shock of my life having caught the UK's largest moth https://gnatbottomedtowers.blogspot.com/2025/06/big-jobbie.html . This time round I caught a spectacles moth [first photo] and the golden triangle moth which was the size of my little fingernail. As I said from the sublime to the ridiculous😊



Hope everyone has a great weekend. Am pleased to say that we are off adventuring!

    The spectacles moth is sublime indeed, but I'm loving the tiny one as well. Enjoy your adventures! xxx

    I manged to bag up one of those beasts when I packed up from Beautiful Days, it scared the life out of me when I opened the van door on Tuesday morning!
    They're widely known as Bob-owlers in the Black Country. The Smiths did a song about them, too - Big Moth Strikes Again (sorry, I'll get my coat!)
