Lovely set of macros there Ron. Hope you don't mind but I sent the moth photos off to the county recorder and your Fruitlet is only the third county record since 1905! (and he's very impressed with the photo) so would like full details (grid ref, date) if that's ok. the phyllonorycter he can't be certain and would like to know if you have a side on photo. Anyway my email is alanmould31(at)gmail.com if you could send the details please and I'll pass them on (with your credit of course). Cheers.
ReplyDeleteCheers Alan. I will try and find out what the grid ref was for the fruitlet but unfortunately, I only have shots of the other moths from above.
