Scrobipalpa ocellatella
Based on previous confirmed records I'm pretty sure this is Scrobipalpa ocellatella. I suspect the species may be breeding locally now, following the invasion of 2022, as this is the third year I have recorded it here.
Hello Phil, You may be correct but this doesn't look to me quite like a "classic" ocellatella and I'd be concerned that it might actually be atriplicella. Certainly one worth getting checked.

Thanks Dave,
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely get it checked!
