Two New-for-mes



I chalked up two species I haven't seen before today.
First was a Carpatolechia fugitivella, which was actually caught last month in my back garden (Chorleywood, Bucks), but which I have only just had the opportunity to properly check:


And, secondly, also in my back garden, and just a few minutes ago, a Metalampra italica. I was pottering around, looking at leaf-mines, so I had a hand-lens, but, whoops, no pot. The little thing flew up out of a bush and obligingly sat on top of a leaf - long enough for me to get a good look at it.
By the time I got back with a pot, however, it hadn't waited that long.
So no photo, I'm afraid.
