Odd colour?
It can't be anything but a green carpet - can it? but I can't find any pictures that match this. I assume the second one is a Garden Rose Tortrix but grateful for confirmation as I'm not at all confident with micros.
Tom, If it's any consolation: Colin Plant, who is the Herts and Middlesex Recorder, reckons that Yellow-barred Brindle is the moth most often presented to him for identification. Andy.
It's green but it's a Yellow-barred Brindle and the other is Acleris variegana
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Still one out of two can't be bad!
