Evening sweep

A very productive early evening walk with the net yesterday, the highlights were...
Micropterix tunbergella


Gracillaria syringella

Incurvaria masculella Also lots of larval webs of Yponomeuta cagnagella and feeding signs of Y. plumbella and various larval spinnings on a range of plants.

Mine, all mine

The leaf mining season is really starting to ramp up now, which is not a bad thing given that garden trapping remains decidedly well under par.

A few finds from recent days include Caloptilia rufipennella on Sycamore (early mines)  




 C. syringella on Privet


and Stigmella hybnerella on Hawthorn.
