One micro that did make an appearance is pictured below, which I am fairly certain is Aethes smeathmanniana.
The other micro I wanted to check is the small orangey specimen below. I thought maybe Tischeria ekebladella?

Two micros for checking
The overnight garden temperature fell to 11 degrees last night, and the number of micros in the trap also fell accordingly - only 65 compared to several hundred at the beginning of the week.

Hi Steve, yes to Aethes smeathmanniana. The second is probably Tischeria ekebladella, assuming the size fits, but it is very worn so I'd be hesitant to offer that as a confirmed ID.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help Dave. I'm sure you must be very busy with your own moths during this peak mothing period.
