Hello Andy,
ReplyDeleteIt is always great to see new site records being properly confirmed and the Tinea is especially nice because it is one of the rarer ones. Pammene agnotana seems to be yet another species which doesn't come readily to light but pheromone lures are proving it to be rather more widespread than thought. I had a candidate for it in the garden here back in mid-April, to the same lure, but it won't get checked until later in the year.
