Acleris kochiella, Westcott 3rd February 2017 |
Amongst the 14 species which came to the actinic trap here last night was the moth below which I think could be a good candidate for its confusion species, Acleris logiana (a birch feeder). Since the millennium logiana has been spreading across the south of England, having previously been confined to the north of Scotland. This one awaits dissection but if correct it would be a first for the garden and the Aylesbury Vale area, as well as only the 12th for Bucks since the first county record in 2009.
