More Help Required with another Tortrix
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 4:03 pm
On 10/06/21 I caught a tortrix that I could not identify. The wing length was 7-8mm and I assumed it was worn and had lost necessary ID features. I retained it for dissection.
When setting the genitalia plate I was unable to prevent damage on the left harpe.
My identification was made after comparing the genitalia plate with an image on the Moth Dissection website. The moth I compared it with was 49.330 Cydia conicolana.
Checking an image of an adult with my image, I thought I could see similarities.
This moth is not on the Cheshire list, so what have I missed?
Once more I would appreciate any help or comments.
