Day-flying Micros at Tegg's Nose
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 5:46 pm
I capturedand photographed 4 micros at Tegg's Nose yesterday. I've provisionally id'd them but they were all a bit worn and new to me, so I'd welcome any confirmation or correction.
First up was an unfamiliar (to me) tortrix which I think might be Argyrotaenia ljungiana.
Second was what I think is Clepsis senecionana.
Third was possibly Crambus lathionellus, though the markings are rather obscure.
Fourthly was what I think is an Epiblema species; I've attached 3 photos of this but the two last of these are after I managed to damage it with the lid of the pot.
I've kept all these specimens except the first in case dissection is worthwhile.
Thanks as always,
Tim
