29 species in the garden trap this morning,
the best being 2 Brindled Green, Turnip Moth, Acleris sparsana, 2 Autumn Rustic and second generation Swammerdamia caesiella.
Yesterday, 14 species of leaf-mining
moth were noted at Pwlldu including
Ectoedemia
angulifasciella on Dog-rose, some vacated and therefore only putative mines of
Bucculatrix bechsteinella on Hawthorn (I’ll put a pic up later and would welcome comments),
Phyllonorycter
acerifoliella on Field Maple and there were plenty mines of
Grapholita tenebrosana on the hips of Dog-rose.
Non-leps noted included mines of
Scaptomyza
flava on Sea Radish and
Eriophyes
convolvens galls on Spindle.

Your Bucculatrix looks good to me. It's one I've always thought should be common enough in the county but never found it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, I couldn't see anything else it could be.
ReplyDeleteI need to look out for the Grapholita and Bucculatrix in carms too. Thanks Barry.
ReplyDeleteI did record tenebrosana on Dog-rose hips at Penclacwydd on Sunday along with a few mines Common Alder.
