Caloptilia syringella

Species List for 3/8/2014 - Udate

Again a coolish night and fewer moths. In total 211 moths of 51 species.  Still there was a new micro, Caloptilia syringella, a leaf minor of both privet and lilac, both of which feature in the garden. Also a couple of others I need help with. First a pyralid, a bit like Sciota hostilis, but I'm not sure, and then another I really don't have a clue about. Nigel Jarman suggests that the pyralid is roborella and although it's a bit of a dull one I think he's nailed it, so I've added it to the database.
