Micropterix envy...

Good work on the Micropterix Paul - having read your post i looked a bit more carefully at a photo i took (yesterday afternoon so after yours!) of Micropterix at Parc Slip. I'm probably being optimistic but the individual on the left doesn't appear to have the orange hairstyle of typical calthella but it's not very well marked either - just a calthella that's lost its hair??

    Yes, looks like a bald calthella, sadly. I'm sure we'll all be looking closely at those calthella from now on - it will be exciting to see if anyone else can turn up mansuetella.

    If it`s any consolation, I had a good look at my local Micropterix yesterday and they were all calthella. Always worth looking though - `if you don`t try, you won`t get`!
