'Worn' pug alert.

Post by swampthing »

Hello,

Two from last night which I'm hoping some light might be thrown on, especially the pug. It was a very small one, EXACTLY the same wing-span (18mm) as the photo of the slender pug shown on page 10 of Hancock's 'Pug moths of NW England. Problem is, is it too faded to tell?

The micro I'm guessing could be ptycholoma lecheana, but I'm clutching at straws I think.

Thanks in anticipation to you good people.

Hi Andy

Agree Slender Pug
Your micro is Clepsis consimilana

Cheers Steve. Anything I add to my garden list gives me the impetus to keep trying.
