A Biodiversity Information System for Cheshire, Halton, Warrington & Wirral

Easily the best night for months last night with 26 species, inc scarce silver-lines, figure of 80, dusky brocade and plain golden 'Y'. I say 26, but I've yet to identify this one. Yes, it's a micro again. I think that I see a couple of distinguishing features, look in the book, and fail to find it. That's the story of micros for me so far. Oh, I did recognise 3 diamond backs!!! Name of this one please.
