George and I had a good night, it was still 18 degrees at 1AM.
64 species to my light and sheet, of which 30 were micros. Good numbers of
Green carpet, Archers dart, Feathered gothic, Canary shouldered thorn and
Light emerald, but no migrants noted. I'm sure George will add a few species
to the nights tally.
Hi Paul. On your Acleris, it is all about whether the scale tuft in the middle of the wing is erect or 'recumbent'. I'm not 100% certain where this is on you moth but it does not look erect, so I'd go with permutana.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I've had a few comments from Dave Grundy on Facebook, who thinks it is Variegana. Not slim enough for Permutana and a straight, rather than slightly concave costa. I did not note the scale tuft, something to check next time...
