21st May 2018

A new gelechiid for the garden list:

[404] Scrobipalpa costella

Scrobipalpa costella
I've only recorded this species (venacular name - Winter Groundling) once before in Cottenham and on that occasion it was a much paler individual with much more obvious dark subtriangular marks. The identity of this one was only apparent in the photos I took...its not exactly a stunner.

Otherwise, this Monopis crocicapitella was new for the year. At least I'm fairly confident that is what it is on size alone:

Monopis crocicapitella
