I collected a leaf mine off our apple a couple of days ago. It's now hatched out and I'm thinking it's Phyllonorycter blancardella or P. hostis. It's a bit difficult to photograph the moth in the pot. I'm trying to understand if they can be ID'd from a (better) photo or if they need to be chopped.
The other query is I think Cochylimorpha straminea.

Probably best to pot it up for your next batch Mark
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the adults look too similar so dissection is the way forward.
