26-Nov Moths & Late Butterflies

Summary

By November 26th most of October’s moths have gone—only a hardy fifth remain, usually early in the month and often vanishing with the first hard frost. Look for the smoky-grey November moth and other winter specialists (winter moth, mottled umber, chestnuts, dark chestnut), plus chance early sightings of shoulder knot, dark swordgrass, pinions and quakers. The male Feathered Thorn stands out with its large feathery antennae and rich brown/orange tones, while the Green‑bridled Crescent flashes metallic green scales when you’re lucky. Figure-of-eight and other “light-loving” moths linger near lamps and garden sheds. Butterflies are scarce but you might still glimpse Red Admirals, Peacocks, Brimstones or Commas on mild days. Return on November 26th for the full guide.
