Also a weird Yellow-barred Brindle which looked extremely striking in mv light, and Acleris emargana and Matilella (Pyla) fusca which I don't seem to see very often. Also a big plant of white heather amongst all the other purple, a Beautiful Yellow Underwing, and 4 Anomalous.

Hmm, interesting micro. First thoughts would be a Bucculatrix or Phyllonorycter, but not one I know.
ReplyDeleteI wondered about Bucculatrix too. There are some photos on the internet which look similar, but the habitat is wrong!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks. Bucculatrix/phyllonorycter was as far as I got too! I'll keep looking, and will keep the moth in case it needs further investigation.
ReplyDeleteSorry Chris a crucial couple of words somehow got lost from my comment, it should have said:
ReplyDeleteThere are some photos of Bucculatrix maritima on the internet which look similar, but the habitat is wrong!
No, but it's not exactly far from Crymlyn Burrows, and I'm sure it would be found there if anyone looked.
ReplyDeleteAh! I can see now that some do look similar, and there are sand dunes etc only a mile or so away. Can I record it as that then?
ReplyDeleteI'd say so yes.
