First half decent evening in Longwick!

A slightly better selection of moths on the 17th here with a couple of Dotted Chestnuts and a Mullein to add a bit more interest. Esperia Sulphurella also made an appearance. Additionally what appears to be a small Eriocraniidae. is this likely to be Dyseriocrania subpupurella? I cant recall trapping many of this family previously.

    Hi Andrew,
    Yes, that is Dyseriocrania subpurpurella. Associated with oaks, it is the only one from that little group which turns up regularly in gardens. The others mostly feed on birch, normally in woodland.
