Most micros round here seem to be the drab variety - No. 1048 - the pleasantly named Garden Rose Tortrix aka Acleris variegana, opposite, is one with a name that should deliver more in the way of looks.
We also had 2 Ringed China-mark, Parapoynx stratiotata, and a grand total of 7 of No.1305 - the Common Grass Veneer - Agriphyla tristella.
To the left is No. 873 with a fitting name - Dingy Dowd - posh name Blastobasis lignea, it looks so small and insignificant in the moth trap that I wonder that anyone would give it a second glance yet amazingly there were 29 records in both the 2008 and 2009 reports!
Meantime I'm still waiting for some of the smarter looking jobs coming my way - there's still time this year - isn't there?.
