Second Brood Cypress Carpet


Not a lot of moths over the weekend here in Longwick but Green Brindled Crescent is still popping up. Following on from Dave's I had my first Sprawler of the year on Friday night and last night my first ever Cypress Carpet.

Finally crossing the border into Central Oxford I came across what should be an obvious leaf mine on some form of Willow but I can't pin it down using the key. Perhaps it isn't lepidopterous?

    I wonder if it is Stigmella obliquella; the mine can be "stretched out" like this one.

    Thank you that does look like a possibility Charles
