2 micros in the garden trap

It can sometimes be quite a challenge just to spot the smaller micros hiding in my skinner garden trap, let alone identify them. So I am quite pleased to have noticed these two.
The first is actually a springtime regular to my garden - Dyseriocrania subpurpurella.


The other micro is a new addition to my garden list - Caloptilia semifascia.


On a different topic, I had my Emperor Moth pheromone lure out in the garden this afternoon. No luck so far, but I'll continue trying.

    My garden trap was heaving with assorted flies last night but sadly no micros amongst them - or anything else of interest either!

    I've had no Emperor Moth emergences yet amongst last year's brood (or indeed those left over from the previous year) although there was a bit of movement from a couple of cocoons today so I'm hopeful something might happen tomorrow.
