Micros in the sunshine

I did an early evening walk round the nearby SWT Fen Barn reserve with my net yesterday. There were several day flying micros on the wing in the warm sunshine. Those I managed to net included several Dichrorampha acuminatana, Scoparia pyralella, Glyphipterix simpliciella and a couple of Glyphipterix fuscoviridella which is a new species for the site.
There were many Cinnabars on the wing but the only macro I netted was a Yellow Shell, the first I’ve seen this year.
