Help On Two Micros Please:

I think that I have identified the first as Pseudoswammdamia combinella, bur I am struggling with the second.

So, I would be grateful for any help. Both trapped this morning in Burton.

Hi Barry,

Your 'top' image could be Gracillaria syringella, and the bottom image could well be P. combinella.

Hi Barry,

Pseudoswammdamia combinella is a good find as there are only seven records on the county database. Your other is a dark form of Gracillaria syringella, with the normally white areas replaced by orange.

Regards,
Steve
