Unidentified Micro

Post by melbellingham »

Unidentified Micro:

Micro enthusiasts anywhere,

Armed with the new micro book and with time on my hands (my garden is still not firing on all cylinders), I have been looking at some of the photo's that I have of unidentified micro's.

The first one that I think I have identified is 224 Triaxomera parasitella, but as there are very few Cheshire records I would appreciate comments or corrections please. This moth was caught in my garden trap 03/06/2011.

Mel.

Nice one Mel, the orange veins look to be a good determining feature.

Regards,
Steve

Good stuff Mel,

I did likewise with 'unknowns' as there is more time to spend on things like that these days due to lack of moths ! (though things have spluttered into life in the last few days).

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the confirmation to both Steve's. Although the record is over 12 months old, I will add it to my next
Mapmate sync.

Mel.
