Although not in the same numbers, we've had a small influx of
Plutella xylostella here in Wolvercote, Oxon., among some slightly improved catches in recent nights. A few individuals needing clarification, if possible: first, what looks like a
Callisto denticulella from 3rd June; then, all from 4th June, a slightly colourful Common Carpet; a possible
Crassa unitella; what I presume is a Lesser Treble-bar (together with abdomen shot, which I think confirms it); and what I guess is a very dark Mottled Rustic.The
Callisto would be a garden first - many thanks for all thoughts.
Steve and Xander Goddard

Hello Steve & Xander, the last picture is not good enough to give an ID for but the others are Callisto denticulella, Small Seraphim, Glyphipterix sp (needs a much brighter image to confirm but probably thrasonella) and Lesser Treble-bar.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - many thanks, as ever, Dave. We had a Mottled Rustic last night, so they're around.
