08/08..................

Still no Macros to add as the year marches on. A couple of interesting Micros though..........

1113 Eudemis profundana

A smart looking moth and a Garden 1st- confirmed by D. Manning.

 1452 Phycita roborella

After looking at all the internet has to offer, I and more importantly the recorder are stumped over this one. There seems to be no other explanation other than it being a rare aberrant form of the species. Unless, that is anyone else has seen a moth like this? Just for the record its 14mm long and the image has been brightened slightly to show a few more field marks..........After a gen. det. by D. Manning it turned out to be a female of this species...........

Another woeful night as far as species/numbers are concerned.
