Just a quick note as it looks like the weather will stop trapping for a while. The Mompha are propinquella. The colour of the head and thorax is not a good guide only the patterning in the terminal quarter works. Picked up two Tineidae (part) new for my site on 21st too. A Nemapogon ruricolella which is rather small and a Haplotinea insectella. This one is much the size of the Nemapogon cloacella (Cork Moth) but the purple sheen on the hindwings is noticeable. Picked up a Scrobipalpa atripliciella new to my home site on 23rd which was relatively clear of underwings. Shall have a rest now the weather has turned for a while.
