Quite possibly Epiblema sticticana but at least two other species can't be ruled out without dissection.
Did some survey work in Dawlish today - a few interesting bits and pieces picked up along the way...
Hare's-foot Clover
Commom Comfrey
Good to see Small Tortoiseshell caterpillars (on Stinging Nettle) - I've probably seen more adults this year than I have in a while, but nowhere near the numbers I used to see as a kid.
This Mullein Wave hasn't read the chapter on camouflage.
Common Fumitory
Sheep's-bit
Sea Rocket (and below)
Rock Samphire
Scarlet Tiger
Interestingly I had my first ever Scarlet Tiger in the trap this morning. Obviously emergence time.
ReplyDeleteHi mate - that's good. I've only ever trapped one I think. Saw quite a few yesterday - kind of draw attention to themselves in flight! All the best. Matt
