Hedgerow micros

Two rather nice micros seen on a walk near Claydon Park this afternoon:

Adela croesella (Small Barred Longhorn) is similar to Nemophora degeerella (Degeer's Longhorn) but is smaller and the markings are subtly different, a bit more solidly coloured and less streaky. I see it far less often than Degeer's, and in fact the only times I recall seeing it recently have been from hedges in this part of Bucks!

Ptycholoma lecheana (Brindled Twist) is more widespread I think, but again not one I see very often. A bit more subdued in colour but with distinctive metallic-lead crosslines.

A couple of brightly coloured Ancylis mitterbacheriana (Red Roller) were also seen but eluded the camera.
