Thanks Chaps

Harpella forticella, you really dug that one out for me Steve, much appreciated.
Caught in Normandy early July.
All the rest are on the UK list.

Hi Greg

Harpella forficella was first discovered in Berkshire in 2011, see Manley (2015) page 70.
Subsequently it has turned up in Sussex.

Thanks Steve

No wonder I couldn't find it. I keyed in forticella instead of forficella.

Greg
