Micro id - perhaps an Epinotia?

Had this micro this morning in Iver, Bucks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

  1. Looks like one of the Phalonidia group. Did you keep it?

  2. Barnaby.
    Having had a close look at your picture and various reference resources I think your picture is Phalonidia manniana, whose larvae feed on water mint which I guess will be in your area.
    Only 15 Bucks records most of which are from the North of the County.

  3. Thanks both - I did not keep the moth. After tips on this site I tried to use a grey background and am pleased that the photos were good enough for Martin!
