NFG- this tiny moth is very recognisable due to its 'wings closed' resting position.

Still Stalling......06-06

...............and not looking like getting going in the next few days at least. Last year's records tell me just how bad it is this year. 

Last year on this day- 215 species, 132 Macro and 83 Micro

This year (06-06-12)- 131 species, 89 Macro and 42 Micro

So I've tried to include a few highlights, although the Brown Rustic was battered and the Sallow Kitten had been eaten by a Spider- not very photogenic!
