Embark on a visual journey through the fascinating world of moths. This is my diary of enchanting encounters and macro photography, capturing the stunning, intricate beauty of these often-overlooked creatures found in a sub-urban garden throughout the course of a year.
An excellent night with 149 moths of 17 species. The most exciting was my first Blossom underwing (NFG), making my species list (macro) to 378. Other notable moths included the Satellite, named because of the two small 'satellite' marks around each of the orange wing slots, like moons around the sun and the Red-green carpet, which is a beautiful moth - just not sure where the 'red' part of its name comes from.
FitterMoths is a personal project dedicated to documenting the moths encountered in my garden throughout the course of a year. It's a space to share my passion for entomology through regular trapping logs and to exhibit the captivating beauty of moths through macro photography.
