Some migrants and a micro query
Last night a Nomophila noctuella and a first Scarce Bordered Straw following a steady but low amounts of Dark Sword-grass over the last week.
Could I ask for assistance on identifying this micro. Not the best of images I'm afraid.
Hi Steve, it's not a moth. I suggest looking at leafhoppers and allied species if you want to put a name to it, but beware that it might not be identifiable from a photo.
Thanks Nigel. I must say that it hopped off pretty quickly after getting this shot. I wondered why it didn't seem the right shape and assumed it was just the angle it was at!
