A rare one emerges

In a follow up to the earlier post: http://kentmicromoths.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/early-stages-metzneria-aestivella.html an adult has now emerged.

Metzneria aestivella, reared ex pupa, Fowlmead Country Park, Kent. Emerged 14.vi.2012.

However, it is not actually one of the first 'batch', it is from a pupa found just this Sunday (10th June) at a different location, Fowlmead Country Park near Deal, East Kent.  The adult emerged 14th June.

Once again, the Carline Thistle seedhead gave away the presence of this moth as there was a slightly raised tuft of seeds above where this pupa was found.
