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.
