Species List for 30/9/2014

The last list for September. Fewer moths but still some surprises.There were 153 moths of only 23 species, but this included three migrants, a Dark Sword-grass, another Pearly Underwing, a very dark one sthis time, and a third Golden Twin-spot for the year, this one with its twin spots merged into one. There's also a picture of a micro I'm not sure about, any ideas gratefully received. Numbers modified when my micro was identified with the help of Peter Maton and Phil Milton.

  1. Hi Tony

    Try Aspilapteryx tringipennella? I can't make out any white lower mid colouration, otherwise it looks like this one?

    Phil.
