Still chugging along in Wolvercote, Oxfordshire; nothing very exciting happening, but a couple of micros have given me pause for thought the last couple of nights. The first, about 7mm long, couold possibly be a Tineid of some sort, but doesn't quite look right; the second, which I didn't get a chance to measure, looks as though it should be fairly distinctive, but I can't manage to place it. As ever, all suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteYou should recognise the first one - that's the rather common Scythropia crataegella. The second looks to me like a Lobesia species, possibly littoralis, but would need a better image to be sure of the ID.
In spite of the poor quality of the photo and no indication of size in this case I am happy to accept that as littoralis.
