As suggested in the last post, here are a few micros from late June in Wolvercote, Oxon, whose ID has been proving a headache. With apologies for the numbers - I'll try to limit them in future posts - we have: what might be some species of
Acrobasis from 28th June; a
Pammene species from 27th June, about 7mm long -
regiana seems likeliest, but I wonder about
trauniana; a possible
Scoparia subfusca from 27th June; what might be a
Tineola bisselliella from 26th June, although finding that outside seems unlikely; an unknown crambid from 21st June; an unknown but quite well-marked specimen from 27th June; and a very small individual - about 4mm long - from 26th June (which I suspect might turn out not to be a moth at all). All suggestions gratefully received.
Steve and Xander Goddard

Hello again, the first is Nephopterix angustella, the second looks like Pammene populana, the third is a scoparid beyond hope (but not subfusca), the fourth you could well be correct with, the fifth is a bit worn but possibly Eudonia mercurella, the sixth is either Epiblema trimaculana or Epiblema rosaecolana and the seventh is certainly a very nice moth (a nepticulid and looks to me like Ectoedemia decentella).
ReplyDeleteMany thanks again, Dave! -- a few more coming up, I'm afraid.
