More Summery catch and a new micro for my list

Finally the north easterlies have died down and we are promised warmer weather here on the east coast. 9th June gave me 47 species. Crambus lathoniellus is about and am taking Common Pug and Freyer’s Pug at present. An Alder Moth, which I rate, and also a White Colon. The new micro to my list was Cnephasia communana. A pleasing catch as it puts the Sandlings on a par with the Breckland for the occurrence of this species. It was the first Cnephasia of the year and didn’t strike me as either of the expected asseclana or stephensiana so a dissection was called for.
