Dusking and the Playboy Bunny

Quite a productive evening dusking along hedgerows by the house yesterday with a few micros and plenty of mines.

Catch included Ypsolopha sequella which when viewed dorsally, has markings just like the Playboy Bunny, or so I am told!

Ypsolopha sequella

Nemapogon clematella


Spilonota ocellana


Phyllonorycter corylifoliella leaf mine on Hawthorn
