Tiddesley Wood - Sunday evening.

I paid a quick visit to Tiddesley Wood on Sunday evening to search for larvae on Apsen. While walking around the outside of the wood I thought I would knock a few Field Maple branches to see if anything fell out of the fading flowers. I got mostly flies and a few beetles and one moth which turns out out be a good one.

Pammene trauniana would not have been on my radar had it not been recorded recently by Mike Williams' son at his school in Stourport. These two records are the 5th and 6th for the county of this 'nationally scarce A' Tortrix.
