Yes Julia
They are abundant at the moment.
I counted 297 across two traps yesterday morning.
The second one could also be Blastobasis adustella, although it does appear rather short winged

Looks like the second one might have had a close shave with some predator! (Matching bite marks on each wing?)

Cheers
