Windy 25th gives poor results

In common with the Dunwich experience the windy conditions reduced my garden catch to 16 moths and 12 species. Only one new for the list, a Tinea trinotella though I also got a stripy very worn Coleophora with not much chance of an ID.

    Check to see if its Coleophora albicosta Raymond, as that is a stripy one and is very common at the moment. Should be in your area as it feeds on Gorse.

    Yes I thought it could be but can’t do it on superficial characters as it is too worn. Got stuck on one I got at Shingle Street at present, can’t get anywhere with it at all and genitalia are nothing like any in Pierce.
