Micro Query

Help please with this one. I get confused with Bud Moth, Codling Moth and Cydia splendana. Hopefully I'm in the right area.

  1. That is either Cydia splendana or Cydia pomonella. I suspect it will be the former but if there's a hint of purplish and shiny coppery scales towards the trailing edge of the wing then it will be pomonella. Unfortunately the images aren't very well lit so it isn't clear whether they're there or not.

  2. Thanks Dave. I will keep working on my rubbish photography skills, but I fear I need a more expensive phone.
