I don't keep the moths after I've taken a photo, so no chance of a second look.Howard Burthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140736388789494773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-85932207558696975512015-05-06T14:00:02.180+01:002015-05-06T14:00:02.180+01:00So that's another possibility thrown into the ...So that's another possibility thrown into the mix!

A good shot of the palps often helps with this group (i.e. a side-on close up of the head). <br /><br><br>And George is right - I won't accept ultimella without a specimen! This group is hard enough when you've got the thing in front of you, let alone from a photograph.<br />VC41Mothshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263945533123756002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-30394472729523781962015-05-06T12:28:52.299+01:002015-05-06T12:28:52.299+01:00From the grid it looks like your Depressaria is ab...From the grid it looks like your Depressaria is about 8-9mm wing length. It's not Parsnip moth (radiella) which is bigger and has dark dots along the end of the wing. This leaves either daucella or the scarcer ultimella. It actually looks more like ultimella bases on size and the pale streaks in the middle of the wing, but there are no confirmed VC41 records of this species so I'm sure Dave would want to see it dissected. (I have a potential specimen from Lanlay Meadows last September, which I haven't dissected yet).<br /><br />Agree with C-b B and M epilobiella.GMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759152282751126808noreply@blogger.com
