A moderate trap produced two micros that were unfamiliar to me - a dowdy Pyrausta and a Metzneria metzneriella. I have an old photograph entitled "possible Pyrausta despicata" but I'm more certain of this one.I have never had any species of Metzneria before so I was pleased to see a new genus. I'm assuming this has flown from the dunes as it likes calcareous grassland.
Alternative id suggestions are always welcome.
