Orthopygia (Hypsopygia) glaucinalis:
I was reading the North Wales birding website and checking on the moth section as I know a couple of contributors and a photo was on there requesting an ID. I recognised it as one of the few micros that i had caught myself last month (10/8/2012). I said that I had settled on Orthopygia glaucinalis although in the new micro book it is Hypsopygia glaucinalis.
The response was that it was a very infrequent moth in North Wales so thought I had better post my photo on here to ask about it's frequency in Cheshire if anyone knows.
Cheers
Steve

Steve,
There are currently 182 records of (Orthopygia glaucinalis) on the rECOrd database and the current distribution map shown by these records can be seen below.
As I understand it there should be data transference between the County Macro and Micro Moth recorders and rECOrd (and vice-versa) - I certainly hope that is correct.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
Steve

Hi Folks,
O.glaucinalis is something we only began catching in 2003, recording it annually until 2006. It then went missing until 2010-11 and is absent thus far this year.
We've had 10 records in all.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
Many thanks to the 2 Steves for their info and it seems it's not recently often recorded then but I seem to be in the right place on the distribution Map!
Glad I asked!

I've just come across this post and thought I'd let you all know that I had one of these in the garden this year for the first time. I can send a photo but it's very blurred I'm afraid. No doubt about the identification though. I live in Shocklach right at the southern tip of Cheshire near the Shropshire border.
