Tortrix query - Longwick

Pretty dire set of moths today including 14 treble lines and ten heart and dart. A pristine Cinnabar was new for the year. The pictured  tortrix (W/L 7mm) had me thinking isotrias rectifasciana but I thought I should check as a few Cnephasia look not too dissimilar.?

  1. Hi Andrew, that is indeed Isotrias rectifasciana. A much-reduced catch here last night too, thanks to the damp day and cool night, but 24 species still turned up including my first Eyed Hawk-moth of the year.
