Also seen was this little gelechiid? (shown below), which I`ll also retain, unless there are forthcoming suggestions of possibilties - apologies for the poor photo.
I also had Grapholita compositella, a distinctive little tortricid and another poor photo!
Later, I popped to the nearby Ashpits Pond woodland, where mindful of `good finds` of leaf mines on dogwood by George Tordoff near Cardiff recently, I had a look around and found the mine below (only on shaded leaves). Unfortunately, it was n`t of moth interest, but rather the fly Phytomyza agromyzina - drat!
I also had the mine shown below on Anthyllis vulneraria - any idea please? Note the rust too.
The Gelechiid looks to have a red head, making it Apodia bifractella.
ReplyDeleteI think the mine on Kidney Vetch is dipterous
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed have a gingery-red head - thanks Dave....and George.

ReplyDeleteWhy the above appeared three times, I don`t know! Anyway (and hoping this comment does n`t repeat!) - I went to my list to write down the above gelechiid suggestion, and happily noted that I had the same name already written....I`m getting there slowly!
ReplyDeletethanks for the rust record Ian
