Managed 20 species last night but only 53 moths in all. Best for me, as I've not seen it before, was the outrageously named
Schreckensteinia festaliella, and almost as long-winded
Semioscopis steinkellneriana. Also a single
Eriocrania unimaculella (I think, but
sangii does look very similar; any comments on that?)

Nice selection Chris, especially the Semioscopis, which appears a genuinely scarce micro. The E. sangii was gen.det. I agree yours looks similar, but I think unless confirmed looking at critical characters, these are best left undetermined.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry. I shall have to look into getting a microscope next!
DeleteI was just about to ask how there Eriocrania were being determined! I wouldn't accept the record without dissection.
