Cottenham Long-horns

I have only recorded one species of longhorn moth in the village - the stunning Nemophora degeerella. So when David Bradley reported an individual on scabious near Cottenham Lode I thought I would take a look.

Conditions were perfect this afternoon and I quickly located 8+ individuals. They look good for Nemophora metallica  (Brassy Long-horn), a Nationally Scarce B species.
