Following on from Brian’s post on the 5th, I too have now seen Adela cuprella out in numbers, so my initial fears that it had become scarce were unfounded. Saw at least 50 in several groups flying high (as usual) around flowering female Sallow bushes at IGC this lunchtime. They were best viewed through binoculars. Quite interesting to see that as soon as the sun went behind a cloud briefly they all stopped flying and settled on the bush and were very hard to see, only to fly up again very quickly once the sun came back out.
