Including a Small Mottled Willow, a migrant that then hitched a lift as a secret stowaway in my van.

Fab selection Chris. Is you mystery one not a poorly marked Endothenia quadrimaculana? Was it large?
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry, that one was bugging us. It was a decent size.
ReplyDeleteWorth considering E. ericetana of course, which perhaps it resembles more? The 2 quadrimaculana I caught recently were much more strongly marked than this - I prob took the odd pic which I'll post later.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I was just googling Endothenia photos and it does look spot on for E. ericetana. It probably was a bit small for quadrimaculana. Would be first county record since 1907!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that's Endothenia ericetana. Another good record from a productive night!
ReplyDeletePaul Roberts and myself caught 3 Endothenia ericetana on 14 July 2008 at Island Farm, which should be in your db?
ReplyDeleteI don't have these records in my copy.
ReplyDeleteThey were probably part of a batch the client requested was kept confidential, so will be archived I'll re-activate and resync them in that case. I'll also see if I have any photos ...
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Barry. Sorry not to have replied, been in Dorset trapping for (unseen) Speckled Footman. E ericetana it is then!
