As the nights have been so frosty recently I haven't run the traps but went out to some bog with cottongrass on Fairwood Common in the sun. I found two Glyphipterix haworthana which was what I was hoping for plus what seems to be Clepsis senecionana.

That's a cracking shot of the Glyphipterix!
ReplyDeleteThanks Samuel. It did take a while but it is such a striking little moth it was worth the trouble!
