Hi Tony 1) My guess for rtus02-03-07a.JPG is the established alien Cacoecimorpha pronubana (Torticidae), but I'd check with the ukmicromoths group. Larvae...
Hi all, At last the new season is starting to get going. The first of the larger spring moths emerged today - a Small Eggar (Eriogaster lanestris) female....
Hi group, My mum found this on my back yard wall, I think it was originally behind some plaster but a lot has fallen off recently. Resident monkey has removed...
It does have a look of my Elephant and Spurge hawkmoth pupae too... but I'm a novice as well and don't want to get too excited. Of course I could just wait...
Whilst I don't want to rain on anyone's parade.....am I the only one here who'd rather not have links to political party websites posted as part of messages? ...
Hi Keith, We went thru all that a few months back - or maybe that was on another group? Anyway, personally I'm pleased to see any politicians showing an ...
Hi all, I have now completed a draft version of the above for the website. Before I put the links in to access it from the home page, I would appreciate it if...

Many apologies Keith and anyone else.. I'm running for council and I added it to my signature. Normally I post from the website. Daisy ... Don't pick lemons. ...

Dear Group, We all know this to be a very strange year, with the mild winter bringing everything forward. Never-the-less I was amazed to see a Humming bird...
Hi Daisy/all, As you (and many of us) have found out, photographing pupae is a lot more difficult than it would appear to be! I hope some of you will have a go...
Hi there L.McG. I live in Swindon so I'll keep an eye open too [several Daphnes in the garden!]. Perhaps you could let me have the full details so I can pass...
Thanks for the reminder Reg, I hadn't kept the email/link. I WILL have another go, and give it a good clean up etc. It's an important skill I reckon. Daisy ......
Dear Steve, So nice that my brand new membership of the group has created some interest. To pad out the details I live at Aughton which is the northern part of...
... You need to place it on something that isn't flat. I've used corrugated card although it's not pretty. Maybe just put your leaf on top of a couple of ...
Hi Alan, ... That particular leaf in your photo gives a good background what tree/plant is it from? Laying the pupa along one of the veins often gives just...
Thanks Malcolm and Reg. I can see there is a fair amount of trial and error ahead. Yes, I've found that a white background is pretty much a disaster. And the...
When cleaning out last years nesting material from a bird box, many small pale (micro moth?) larvae were found. They appear to be of two different species. ...
Hi Alan I think species A is Hoffmanophila pseudospratella, and I suspect larva B is also. The greyness may simply be as reflection of whatever was passing...
