London Buses:
Hi folks,
Sadly, and seemingly unlike anyone else trapping at the moment, we DIDN'T get hordes of insects the last time we trapped, and managed just five species. However, they did include a pale morph Diurnea fagella! One in 21 years and then two in three nights.. perhaps we shouldn't have been so surprised.
There was one other micro, as yet un-identified... and it may remain that way since its not exactly in mint condition.
Cheers,
Steve

Re: London Buses
The unidentified micro has now been identified (by Steve Hind) ... Tortricodes alternella - another first for the garden !!
Cheers,

Hello All
I think these are Diurnia fagella - both versions? I've never seen them in my garden before but they've been around for three nights now. If someone could confirm identification, I should be grateful.

Re: London Buses
Apologies - have just realized it should be Diurnea fagella.

Continuing the streak, the day after we trapped our second Diurnea fagella at home, I found another on a window at my office!
