Longhorn moths

For the second year running Nemophora metallica are present along Cottenham Lode. However I only located a single male in what is now a depleted stand of scabious (courtesy of our friends at the EA).

An even more exciting sighting was a handful of Nemophora fasciella in Kings Hedges of all places. A great find by Jon Heath and my successful twitch allowed some half decent photos:
