Pinion Streaked Snout

Pseudargyrotoza conwagana

A very mild 13 degree min. Some unusually late species in this lot..in particular, the latest county record of conwagana by 6 weeks! A very fresh individual too. Also late Straw Dot and Green Carpet.

Highlight though was a Pinion streaked Snout, I thought I had missed out this year and 3 Merveille du Jours.

Pinion Streaked Snout.

At first glance this little non-descript chap looks like a micro moth, but I soon remembered those small triangle shaped things at the back of the Lewington Guide. The 3 records in 2010 in Northumberland were from my garden...
