| A raggy arsed Oak Nycteoline. |
VC 68's third record of Oak Nycteoline was a new species for me, in a very reasonable catch.. A very localised species in Northumberland.

Most Nycteolines are a bit tatty in the spring Stewart, though cut it some slack - it has survived a Northumberland winter without a coat!
ReplyDeleteAye....Its Northumbrian! Heheheh.... :)
ReplyDeleteWell done on the new garden tick and third record for the Vice County Stewart.
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline.
ReplyDeleteNice form
ReplyDelete3rd for the County surprises me, I presume this is overlooked at times as an Acleris sp by people who don't count the micro's!
Hi Ben, its not that they are overlooked, its just that there are so few people who trap in Northumberland, they are genuinely scarce. Only about 15 - 20 people do any trapping at all, and only 12 - 15 of those submit regular records! So, its relatively easy to get good county records...
