About the Kent Moths Gallery

This blog is intended as a gallery of photos for all moths found in the county of Kent. Please send through your quality images (and links to your websites) of moth species caught yesterday or yesteryear in order that this can become a complete archive of Kent's moth fauna.

Pembury, 23rd May


Scorched Carpet - Just plain stunning to see!

Least Black Arches - A locally distributed species.

Eulia Ministrana - A rather striking micro.

Foxglove Pug - The larvae feed inside the flowers of Foxglove - surprise, surprise!

Scalloped Hazel - One of three in the trap this morning.
The Miller - A common moth occuring throughout Great Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands. It is very variable with the whitest forms usually occuring in Scotland.
I'm still waiting to trap any species of hawkmoth, so the trap went out again at my dads house and produced a splendid selection of moths.
