The head does look a little too dark for hybridella and the three square-ish blotches along the costa would seem a good fit for molliculana. If you still have the moth, Steve, that would be another worth a closer inspection.Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-56998577917142725042017-05-31T21:38:50.546+01:002017-05-31T21:38:50.546+01:00Is it possible the Cochylis might be molliculana?Is it possible the Cochylis might be molliculana?Andrew Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473239062680971150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-12025161048281535542017-05-31T15:31:12.575+01:002017-05-31T15:31:12.575+01:00Many thanks Dave.

Looking back at my records, I actually had one of these in my garden back in August 2015- it was identified by Peter.Steve Trigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848975639483729158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-29151908833375327832017-05-31T14:08:43.589+01:002017-05-31T14:08:43.589+01:00Hello Steve, Nephopterix angustella is a nice gard...Hello Steve, Nephopterix angustella is a nice garden record (I presume you must have some spindle locally). Of your two queries, the first is Cochylis hybridella and I think the second might well be Endothenia ustulana although it could do with dissection to be sure. I've had it in the garden and in a couple of local woods (dissected each time) but they seem to be the only records for Bucks so it is quite uncommon in our area.Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.com
