Acleris sparsana

Back on 29th October, I posted this picture of what I thought was Acleris schalleriana.
It has now been checked by Peter, and it is infact Acleris sparsana. They are definitely tricky to tell apart sometimes. Steve Trigg, Cookham

    Hi Steve,
    Well done for holding on to it for Peter to dissect! That's a timely reminder to us all that a) Acleris sparsana can occasionally be far more colourful than the typical all-grey form in which it usually appears and b) how important it is to get things checked properly if there's an element of doubt about the identity.
