Buttercups and Olives

Took a walk back along the Brett River Trail to the office at lunchtime today and managed to find a small patch of buttercups complete with attendant Micropterix calthella.

Also, as a follow up to a recent visit to Wyevale’s in Bury St Eds, this morning I had an example of Prays oleae emerge from a mined olive leaf that I had picked off one of the tree’s for sale. While it still awaits final confirmation, this would appear to be the first Suffolk record of this adventive (pest) species. I’ll upload some pictures to the Members Area of the website soon.
