Fordham Footpaths

A nice hour walk around the local footpaths today with my son yielded plenty of day-flying micro moths and a few macros as well.

The skies were full of Butterflies too, beetles, bees and every insect imaginable. In that sunshine things have really woken up, but goodness me that wind! Ok if you are the right side of a hedge!

A few species listed below were found resting on foliage or netted.

 

The best species were two Pammene rhediella found on adjacent Hawthorn bushes, just resting on the top of the leaves, beauties! These are not common moths and i've only ever seen a couple over the years. Very tricky and skittish to photograph too.
