I think Leptocerus tineiformis is more likely to have been the commoner one (and therefore may be what you have here), but I can't rule out Ceraclea dissimilis - or indeed the other members of both genera! It is definitely in the family Leptoceridae though so best record it as such.VC41Mothshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263945533123756002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-31502334611450120552011-07-06T19:49:13.450+01:002011-07-06T19:49:13.450+01:00Ooops - Oegoconia not Caryocolum!!Ooops - Oegoconia not Caryocolum!!DRWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636173970831048193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-16338429529197301582011-07-06T15:38:24.563+01:002011-07-06T15:38:24.563+01:00I get O. quadripunctata in my garden in Roath (DJS...I get O. quadripunctata in my garden in Roath (DJS det), indeed it is not uncommon in the Cardiff area.

Would be curious to know what it is if you do find out Dave. <br /><br />Let me know if you think the Oecogonia is worth dissecting, from a glance at UKMoths it looks more akin to the deauratella example than the quadripunctata, but there's not a lot in it! I'll release it later today and record as Oecogonia sp. if I don't hear. Thanks again for the quick (and consistent!) feedback!Adam Mantellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825643943800910778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-90036701325981777212011-07-06T12:58:38.136+01:002011-07-06T12:58:38.136+01:00How bizarre!!!
