Nemapogon granella

I believe this moth is Nemapogon granella and I found it in my kitchen (Ipswich, IP4) last Monday evening (26th September). If my identification is correct this is not the first time I’ve come across one indoors in Suffolk. The other was in the kitchen of a friend’s house in Denham, north Suffolk, on 3rd March 2011 (the ID was confirmed by gen. det. by Jon Clifton).  Does anyone know of other Suffolk records in the intervening five and a half years? It is quite an amazing coincidence if there haven’t been any.

Thanks, Paul

    Hi Paul, just managed to find time to check through the records I have, and can only find one other record and that was outside your timescale. Paul Bryant had one on 02/06/09 (confirmed by dissection). I only have a limited part of the county database so this may not be the only other record out there, but thought I’d report it as it may be of interest.
