ReplyDeleteOur 2 L-a's were feeding off ivy & an over-ripe blackberry. We also saw a smallish crambid unfortunately we couldn't catch it, but it could well have been E. ocellea - guess we'll never know for sure.
ReplyDeleteYes not many other crambid possiblities at this time of year (haven't seen any geniculea for a while).
ReplyDeleteNothing in the valleys so far, will keep an eye on the local Ivy blossom during the next 4-5 weeks.
