A rich seam at the mine

Well peak season for miners seems to be taking off now, half an hour or so scouring hedges close to the house at the weekend yielded, amongst others the following:

Antispila metallella on Dogwood: tenanted and vacated (showing cut-out)


Stigmella malella on Apple - tenanted


Stigmella lemniscella on Elm


Phyllonorycter blancardella on Apple (upperside and underside)


Callisto denticulella - tenanted


Lyonetia clerkella - quite a few of these
