Nemophora fasciella on the wing.

Just went for a wander round the garden after work this afternoon and managed to find a few moths, best of which was a Nemophora fasciella male feeding on an Oxeye daisy flower. Have recorded this species around the garden before in the past but not for a few years apart from a dead one I found floating in a water butt last year.
Tried the pheromones for both Currant and Yellow-legged clearwings too but no luck, both species I’ve recorded before here, maybe they aren’t on the wing yet due to the late season.

    Hi Neil, All … Pheremones at the ready cos it’s clearwing time again. Had two Currant Clearwing at the Gallows Hill allotments in Hadleigh today. Also tried for Red-belted t the same site but no luck.
