This one was in the trap last night. I just want to check that it is Choreutis pariana as it seems to have some of the characteristics of nemorana. It was photographed in a tube as it is extremely active. It is about 7.5mm in length. The trap was under an apple tree with no figs in the area.
It is great that the warmer nights have finally brought out moths in better numbers however what was not so good was what I am pretty certain was Evergestis limbata flew off before I could pot it up! Perhaps it will come back tonight!

Hi Andy,
ReplyDeleteThat's Choreutis pariana for me, a nice find especially at this time of year (the second brood seems to get recorded more often). Shame about the Evergestis, let's hope it re-appears!
Many thanks. C. pariana is new for the garden anyway.
