I know the costa is the 'front' of the wing when the moth is in flight, but I can't see any folds in it...!?Adam Mantellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825643943800910778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-90108988061850582522014-06-18T11:59:43.958+01:002014-06-18T11:59:43.958+01:00Was meant to add that a hummingbird hawk-moth was ...Was meant to add that a hummingbird hawk-moth was seen feeding on red valerian in the car park yesterday too (on my day off...)Vaughn Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377254140158367735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-12526902612572149502014-06-18T11:40:18.107+01:002014-06-18T11:40:18.107+01:00Thanks very much both.

I'd be happy with Aethes cnicana. Relatively short costal fold should make the Notocelia (=Epiblema) rosaecolana. And yes I agree with the Argyresthia.<br />VC41Mothshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263945533123756002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-83261300727346294172014-06-18T10:54:13.806+01:002014-06-18T10:54:13.806+01:00There is a fighting chance that the first Cochylid...There is a fighting chance that the first Cochylid is C molliculana, but it is a bit worn so I can't be 100% sure. If you still have the specimen then check the head and thorax colours - if it is pale buff then it is C molliculana, if it is white then it is C hybridella. C molliculana has only been recorded from Rhoose Point and Lavernock before so it would be a nice record.Adam Mantellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825643943800910778noreply@blogger.com
