In my attempts to catch up on our last few days in Wolvercote, Oxon, I've a few micros I think I've identified, including a species from last night new to us, but which I think Adam Hartley may have had last year: a
Metalampra italica - a very pretty little species. From the previous night, I think we have a
Pammene regiana, which we also had last year; and from the 15th, and rather poorly-photoed, what might be a
Metzneria lappella. Any confirmation (or other suggestions) would as ever be very welcome. Steve and Xander Goddard.

I did indeed catch a Metalampra italica last year on the 27th July - your photo certainly looks like one to me.
