Hi all,
I’ve finally got round to buying a micro moth book so I’ve spent the last few days attempting to identify various micros from the last few months.
Is this Pammene fasciana? Caught on the 12th July.
Are these all Bud Moths?
Is this one of Caloptilia alchimiella/robustella? I assume they require dissection. Caught on the 14th August.
Could this be Eucosma cana? Caught on the 28th July.
More to follow once I get round to it.
Regards,
Alex
Micro ID help please
Re: Micro ID help please
Thumbs up for Eucosma cana. Will look at the other ones soon!
Re: Micro ID help please
You're right about the Caloptilia sp. It would need dissection. It's Category 4(R), meaning that it needs rearing from leaf mine - and dissection!
Re: Micro ID help please
The top one does look like Pammene fasciana.
Re: Micro ID help please
And the other three resemble Bud Moths, (Spilonota ocellana), yes.
Re: Micro ID help please
Thanks Dave for the confirmations. Obviously the new micro moth book has helped because I don’t usually get many of them correct!

Alex
