some micros for ID help

Post by bobhelencoan »

Had a good night last Sunday night 9th September. Count included our first Broad bordered yellow underwing for the year plus 3 heart and dart and one single dotted wave. We think we had another Prays ruficeps and a caloptilia we think is azaleella again. Also a micro we could not ID but could be a very worn blastobasis adjustella. Any help appreciated. Bob & Helen

Hi Bob & Helen,

I'm not certain but your third moth looks very like the Stenolechia gemmellas posted by Steve Holmes and me a few weeks ago - see http://www.record-lrc.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =24&t=4329.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Bob & Helen

I agree with your Prays ruficeps and Pauls suggestion of Stenolechia gemmella, although your Caloptilia looks more like one of the Caloptilia alchimiella/robustella pair to me.

Regards
Steve

Thanks Steve, We still have the third moth if that is of any use. A new one for us. Bob & Helen
