Adela fibulella.
Adela croesella.Also good numbers of Grass rivulets and Crambus lathionellus, Clouded border 1, Sandy carpet 1, Scoparia pyralella 5, Hedya pruniana 2, Endothenia marginana 1, Cinnabar 6, Mother shipton 1, Burnet companion 4, Adela cuprella 3 and one Opsibotys fuscalis.
Just checked Mapmate and A. croesella appears to be the third county record. So i should add that there were 3 females on a Wild privet bush. They were just west of kissing gate 5.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly where I saw fibulella a year or two ago. Never seen croesella though - a good find.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, i have been looking for A. fibulella here since seeing your record. I have had no luck on the castle itself, this one was just 10 metres from the main road, where the footpath leads down from the church.
ReplyDeletePaul, I have 11 records on my database - still a nice record though.
ReplyDeleteBarry, my mapmate has not been updated for a year or so, Martyn tried updating it for me a few weeks ago without success. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I only have 2 records on my MapMate, and it should be fairly up to date!
ReplyDeleteThere are two issues here. Firstly, I think there is a confusion over which species we are talking about. I've got 6 croesella records and 11 fibulella records. So I think Barry was talking about fibulella, whilst George is talking about croesella!
ReplyDeleteThat asside, the records that are missing from George's & Paul's copies of MapMate are 'installation' records - set to gen of 1 and don't get synced. This is an artefact of the way MapMate was originally being distributed. I'll see about getting these records re-synced when I'm in the office next week.
