Whilst the trap was dominated by the usual big-hitters for the time of year a few more autumnal species are appearing here such as Large Ranunculus, Angle Shades and Black Rustic, whilst the Dusky Thorns keep coming. A Rush Veneer added a bit of migrant interest.
I was concerned that the bad weather might put paid to a second generation of Clepsis Dumicolana but a small number are appearing once again.
A Caloptilia species appeared last night also. I appreciate the photo is poor (Courtesy of an I-Phone) but does the black spot on the costa make this populetorum?
...and I thought my pots were dirty!!
ReplyDeleteI think we can safely rule out populetorum because the basic shade of brown is too light and it is clear from your image that the cilia (wing-tip fringe) are white. Not a safe ID from that picture but I suspect it is actually syringella.
Your pots are dirtier than mine (which is strangely reassuring). Yes, favourite a likely one is syringella.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks both.
