In yesterday morning's trap was this which, from Phil Sterling's book, I identified as
Monopis crocicapitella. However, I have photos of a similar from 2009 identified as
M obviella. I gather I should have looked at the hindwing as well, which I didn't realise until too late!
Any suggestions/opinions gratefully received.

Query: Monopis crocicapitella |
|
Oleander Hawk-moth, bred |
Also attached: not an exciting first for Glamorgan I'm afraid but a beautiful moth anyway, reared from tiny larva acquired at the AES show 6th October.
I wouldn't like to say without seeing the hindwing I'm afraid, sorry!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks. Monopis sp. then!
