Tiny speck


Could I ask whether I'm right in thinking that this minute arrival last night is Caloptilia semifascia? It shared the eggboxes with my first Red-green Carpet of 2014, one Chocolate-tip (with a wing fragment from another outside the trap), three Clouded Drabs, two Hebrew Characters, a Common Quaker, a large beetle and an earwig. The thing in the background is my Biro, for scale. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
