Micro highlights of 2012

Whilst 2012 didn't set the world on fire with regards to mothing, I still had plenty of highlights, some of which are illustrated in the collage below:

All the above from Kent, except the P. oleae, however I did find mines of this species at a garden centre in Canterbury this year, so technically...
