More from Denham Country Park

Further to Rob Payne's post earlier, a very enjoyable morning at Denham Country Park with Rob....

Rob found a leafmine on White Polpar Populus alba which I believe to be Phyllocnistis xenia, which will be the 3rd record for VC24 at a new site.  Photo of mine and detail showing edge of leaf with pupa.  I will try to rear though.




 And another picture of Hornet Moths Sesia apiformis for the record!



Several other daytime micro moths seen too, including Purple Hairstreak Favonius quercus and Common Blue Polyommatus icarus.
