Off the Blocks

A single Winter Moth braved the winds last night to get my garden list for Westcott started for 2018.  A quick look around today produced the expected active mines of Phyllonorycter leucographella (on pyracantha) and Stigmella aurella (on bramble).  The aurella larva in the image below doesn't look all that well and may be parasitized but it was still moving.
