Help with micros please
I've drawn a blank trying to identify these two from Thursday night. The second one the antennae were about the same length as the abdomen. Could the second one be a Paromix spp? Suggestions please?
Don't worry, Dai, we've all mistaken caddis for moths at one time or another, in my case quite recently when I spent ages trying to identify tiny black jobs that turned out to be microcaddis.
Could they be caddisflies?
ReplyDeleteIan has confirmed they are caddis flies!

ReplyDeleteI know I have made the same mistake. Ian was telling me weekly that my interesting micro was a caddis.
