Caloptilia semifascia confusion.
On 1st August I caught what I thought was Caloptilia semifascia Autumn generation and then the following night what looked like Caloptilia semifascia Summer generation.
I can't decide on this. Probably dying when caught but sitting in a strange posture like a Scalloped Hook-tip. Photo of the now dead moth.
Maybe Helcytogramma rufescens. 9mm in length
A very dark individual with no clear markings. 7mm in length.

Hi Andy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on both of your Caloptilias (co-incidence!). The next is an ex Small Blood-vein and I agree with Helcystogramma rufescens, but I'm afraid I can't offer anything for the tortrix.
Many thanks.
