20th Oct 2013 ... Two belated garden first micros confirmed

The results came through from a batch of early September micro moths from our county recorder.
This is 964a Cochylis molliculana caught on 3rd Sept.
I now have confirmation from David Manning, county recorder, for this garden first record. This species is moving north

964a ... Cochylis molliculana.

Another garden first turned up from the same batch ...

364 Phyllonerycter geniculella 2nd Sept 2013

The moth was a bit too battered for a worthwhile photo so I have taken the liberty of ripping off a pic from the German site Lepiforum ....
