Interesting story…
I had some pupa in my porch that had been sat in an old vase (from memory 2 years ago, they didn’t hatch that year but I kept them in hope I assume!) and to my absolute surprise I found two had hatched yesterday! I suppose the conditions were finally right for them …to emerge ✨
A male (the smaller) and the female (larger and more grey) posed delightfully for me, and I will release them at the wetlands just down my road where there are lots of willow 🌱 which is their favourite caterpillar food plant!
And lastly….just loooooooook at them. I can see why they’re called Puss moths as they look like little fuzzy cats.

Always 👏🏻 check 👏🏻 around 👏🏻 the trap 👏🏻
Just as I was packing up my trap this morning- I spotted a little face peeking up at me 🌞… perched on a bald bit of bush (Oi oiii)!
I finally got my spring Chocolate-tip moth!
After finding one in the Autumn at …the paddock I knew I’d have to get one in the Spring (they have 2 generations a year). It was a great night for moths here, I had 7 new species for the year ✨

Ready for an adventure with purpose?
Join the Iceland HOPE Expedition with oceanmissionsiceland sailing the Northeast Hope Spot — one of the most remote and awe-inspiring places on the planet. 🇮🇸🌿
The Ocean Missions crew will sail on the beautiful …traditional schooneropal thanks to our partnership with North Sailing, exploring wild coastlines, and diving into the world of marine conservation in the heart of Iceland. This isn’t just a trip — it’s a chance to be part of something meaningful. 🤍
You’ll take part in a powerful citizen science program on land and at sea:
🔬 Collecting microplastics & eDNA
🧹 Doing hands-on beach cleanups
🐋 Monitoring whales and seabirds
📚 Learning about traditional sailing, local communities & marine conservation efforts
🚨 Only a few spots left for this life-changing journey in June 2025.
It’s the perfect blend of exploration, learning, and impact — surrounded by Iceland’s most spectacular beauty and rough nature. If this speaks to you, send a short motivation letter to the Ocean Missions team and come sail with us for a better planet. 🌍
Your contribution will help Ocean Missions to continue working to push for legal marine protection in the Northeast Iceland Hope Spot waters.
