There's the usual smattering of micros which aren't too clear (at least, not to us) from the last few nights in Wolvercote, Oxon. At least the recent identification of a
Eucosma cana cleared a couple of them up for us, but we remained unclear about the ones below: the first and fourth we're pretty sure are
Acleris laterana; the individual in the second and third photos looks like a
mompha species of some sort, but we can't tell what; the fifth photo we ought to know, but don't.... and the sixth we can't work out at all. Apologies, as at least one of those I'm sure we know perfectly well, and many thanks for all suggestions. Steve and Xander Goddard.

Hi Steve & Xander, I'll pass on both the Acleris pictures as they really need the chop (I don't think they are laterana, which is a striking moth when fresh and probably isn't out yet - they look to me more like schalleriana). Your mompha is Blastodacna hellerella and the final two are Mompha ochraceella and Brachmia blandella.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Dave. Usual case of 'how did I miss *that* in the book?' for some of those.
