Hello, from Steve Garten and welcome to my weird and wonderful world of moths.

I’m amateur Lepidopterist, I trap and record moth species on my six acre wildlife meadow at Tibenham Norfolk, UK.

The list of moths listed in this Macro-moths blog and the Micro Moths blog are the species I have recorded since 2015.

Poplar Kitten - Furcula bifida A macro moth species from the family of Notodontidae, sub family Cerurinaelophidae. The moth has a wingspan of 35 to 45 mm. Quite similar in appearance to Sallow Kitten, this species is, however, usually larger, and the outer edge of the grey wing bar is more smoothly curved. The species' preferred habitats are around the larval foodplant. The moths can be found on the wing from Late April to July. The species' life history is that the larvae food plants are usually Poplars, including Aspen, though sometimes Willow is used. A common and widely distributed species in Britain. This species is classified as common.
