🐛Can anyone help with ID? Suggestions include the winter moth (Operophtera brumata) from @harry.harding.965, and the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) from @antstagram_77. 🐛There are over 2,600 species of moths and butterflies in the UK, many of which are green! 🐛This june, I am taking part in #30dayswild - an initiative to do new wildlife challenges each day.

M O T H 🦋 - Scrollable! ➡ (Ypsolopha sylvella?) Nothing is safe in our garden from being photographed. I like how fluffy this little fella looks upclose. 🌙 Moths are mostly nocturnal, meaning they live for the night and sleep during the day. There are apparently over 160,000 species of moth worldwide! 💡 Everyone has seen a moth at some point in time flying at a light repeatidly. It is thought moths do this because they use lunar light (light reflected from the moon) as a method of navigation. 🌙 When a moth encounters a man made light, the moth attempts to correct its course by navigating towards the light. 🌍 It is thought that light pollution from street lights and cities are responsible for a decline in the number of moths in parts of the world. ______________________________________ #ukmoths #moths #mothsofinstagram #macro_brilliance #macro_highlight #macroporn #macrofotografia #macromood #stayathome #bbcearth #natgeoyourshot #naturephotography #nature_perfection #natgeowildlife #insectsofinstagram #instapic #nature_of_our_world #naturelovers #nature_captures #naturelife #natureshots #naturelife #insect #igredefined #ig_shotz #ig_macro #igbest_macros #springwatch #bbcspringwatch #naturepic #naturehub (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Rid4aj5w_/?igshid=1otd8xz53q51x

When Sainsbury's say there vegetables are natural and organic I guess they are telling the truth. #Sainsbury #Brimstonemoth #opisthograptisluteolata #moths #ukmoths #butterflies #ukbutterflies #organic #butternutsquash #nature (at Sainsbury's)
