Finally there were two tiny tortrixes. Despite some physical differences, I speculated that they could be the same species and was wondering about Grapholita janthinana. Any suggestions?

Another wet trap in Burry Port
Despite thunder and lightning, the trap attracted 133 moths of 45 species to my suburban garden in Burry Port. A welcome FFY was one of my favourite moths: Buff Arches.
There was also an attractive micro-life!
Agapeta Zoegana - a special looking tortrix.

They look good for janthinana to me Adam. It seems to be having a good year - I've had two in my Cardiff garden, despite none in the previous 12 years here.
