A Beautiful Plume indeed

This one was new for the year to the garden MV trap last night, Amblyptilia acanthadactyla,
otherwise known as the Beautiful Plume, which in this case is certainly apt.

Other micros from last couple of nights nothing to write home about: several Epiphyas postvittana, good numbers of Agonopterix heracliana and Emmelina monodactyla.
