Grass Rivulet and micros
Having had very few micros this year last night came as a bit of a shock. Having spent most of the day trying to identify moths I am still left with a number of questions and any help would be appreciated. I'll send the first batch now and then some more tomorrow when I have had a better look myself. The micros were all 5-6mm in length. My ideas are as follows.
