A few good catches, but none near to 90 sp. mark. Highlights have been Red-barred Tortrix, Coronet, Dingy Shears, Cyclamen Tortrix & a Small Ranunculus (20th rec. & earliest by 1 day)….and more Yellow-spot Tortrix!
I knew the common name would catch on, quite a few moth groups do use them - the more sensible ones that is. My Latin isn't really up to some of the names given here. The P. aeriferanus is Larch Tortrix & P. fusca is Brown Knot-horn by the way.
What is Yellow-spot Tortrix?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the common name for P conwagana?
ReplyDeleteIs it? Fair enough - I'm well up on common names for micros.
ReplyDeleteIt is easier to spell that Pseudargyrotoza, I'll give them that.
ReplyDeleteI'd been wondering about that too! Didn't realise conwagana had a common name.

ReplyDeleteBut Pyla fusca isn't brown...
ReplyDeleteDave, Yes I agree, but I don't name them.
