Two micro-moths from a daytime visit by myself and Sue Taylor to Rammamere Heath (Bucks) last Sunday. Firstly, the tortrix Epinotia tetraquetrana (Square-barred Bell), which is supposed to be a common species that feeds on birch and alder, However, this is only the second time I've seen it, and the first was in 1995!
And here is one of the absolutely gorgeous species in family Eriocraniidae, and probably another birch-feeder, but one that will need dissection to get to a species name.
