Hi All have had 75 species plus unidentified micros in my two MV traps at Rospannel Farm this week. Those perhaps worth a mention are Alder moth Dark...
I've posted 2 pictures of micros in 'Rogers Queries'. Can any of you Micro experts identify them for me please. The squares shown in the photos are 2mm in...
Hi Bernard If it's not a Sycamore, it's something very similar! It seems to have a dark discal spot and the overall wing shape looks a bit slim, but that may...
Hi Roger, I'm no micro expert but at a quick glance I would suggest 1076 Celypha lacunana and 1063 Celypha Striana . Steve. ________________________________ ...
Thanks Leon it was a bit lighter in colour in real life, so Sycamore it is, unless someone else knows better thanks again Bernard ... From: Leon Truscott To:...
A Rannoch Looper was caught in Sennen on night of 2nd June. Is this a first for Cornwall? No records mentioned in Smith. Also a Small Marbled found on Mayon...
Hi John I think it would be a first for Cornwall. According to the new Skinner, the main years of migration into eastern England were 1920 (1), 1956 (8) and...
Hi Leon, There's been a few around in England the last couple of weeks, inc. the first for Herefordshire this week. I don't know how up to date those figures...

Hi Frank and All nice to see all the Rannock looper records, things are getting more interesting again. Have added two more images to Rospannel folder on...
Dear All I am a recent subscriber and have just brought a property between Zennor and St. Ives on the north coast. I wondered if there were any other members...
I didn't open my trap till quite late this afternoon and initially it looked fairly uninteresting. Hiding right at the bottom though was a pristine Striped...
Thanks Frank was amazed to think that you thought it to be a Nutmeg, and thought that you must have been looking at another moth, but on closer inspection can...
I've just uploaded 2 pictures to my query file. One I beleive to be a 'Brindle white spot' and hope somebody can confirm or rectify, the other MG3994 I cannot...
Hi Simon, I'm some distance from you on the North Cornish/ Devon border so can't really be much help with your local recording. However, I hope some of...
Hi Simon, It is one of my walking areas and there are some nice habitats on that part of the coast with Small Pearl, Grayling and Wall colonies and old records...
Just posted a photo, (combo of 3), to Rogers Pics of what I think to be a Nemapogon clematella (220). Can anybody confirm this or is there another moth...
Hi Roger Yes, I think you're correct with A.cnicana. (Another possibility would be 946 A.rubigana, but I don't think it's that.) Best Wishes Leon Torpoint ... ...
