Macros for confirmation/ID

Post by bobhelencoan »

Fairly good night on Friday. We think we have a possible scarce footman.
Two pugs, look the same not sure if they can be identifies but are they maple pugs of slender pugs. We have had both before but these seem less well marked.
We also have quite a few micro moths we are still puzzling over. They will follow.
Thanks Bob & Helen

Yes to Scarce Footman, which is now no longer scarce in Cheshire.
The pugs look too worn to ID from a photo

Thanks Steve. Is the Scarce footman the first for our square? Bob & Helen

There is one previous record for SJ46, from Tarvin in 1978 but that would have been a vagrant as it was well before they started to colonise the county.
