Which Acleris?


Any suggestions for this one? Approximately 11mm in length.


A Clifden Nonpareil turned up here on Friday night and a second last night so persevering with putting the trap out most nights has paid off. Despite many photos and comments on this site and others I was still not fully prepared for how impressive the moth actually is in the flesh!

  1. That looks good for Acleris sparsana, Andy. Congratulations on your Clifdens too. Persistence has paid off and your sightings are quite a way further north than any others in our three counties that I've heard of, so there must be hope for anyone locally who hasn't yet seen the beast!
