Dear All I'm trying to get my records finalised for this year and have found three micros that I would appreciate some help with (photos in 'Tighnabruaich...
Hi Steve  21st September micro looks like Ypsolopha ustella though maybe a side on shot would help.  All the best Stan ________________________________ ...
Dear Steve, Here is my best efforts with these micros. The first is a very worn Agonopterix species, too worn ever to be sure. I suppose it might be A...
Hi there, I have another view on the best starter field guide. The same authors have produced a concise field guide (Townsend, M, Waring, P and Lewington, R...
Dear All, Does this posting refer to the promised book on micros? If so, I have the latest news. The last of the family accounts is now complete and has been...

Dear All, Roy has asked me to look again at this photo, with the fold in the wing and a pale front to the head, and the slightly falcate wing-tip. Much better...
Hi, Found this caterpillar today when cleaning up the Geraniums (Pelargonium) on our window-sill, in Berwickshire. It is at the start of my Lamberton Moth...
I thought readers may be interested in a late Diamond-back Moth found yesterday evening, 18th December, in a friend's house on Benbecula. My last record prior...
Hello, I found this micro in my trap, in Inverness, on 18/11/11. Going by UKmoths I think it's Acleris hyemana -- any confirmation (or otherwise) would be much...
