Coleophora limosipennella:
Hi,
Steve Hind asked me to post this here, so here I have!
An adult Coleophora limosipennella has emerged from a 10.5mm long case I found on Elm on 3.July.10 at Styal Woods.
I had previously found a couple of cases there in 2007.
I think these are the only Cheshire records of this species but I'm sure Steve can confirm if this still true.
Worth looking out for. There is a similar species, Coleophora badiipennella, which makes a smaller (6mm) case on Elm.
Hopefully pics of adult (from 18.6.11) and case (from 2007) are attached.
Cheers
