| Eriocrania sparrmanella |
As there are few birch trees in my immediate vicinity I planted 6 saplings in my garden about 8 years ago and last year I found a single mine of Eriocrania sparrmanella. Having a single larva I did not hold out much hope of rearing an adult but this morning the moth emerged.
That's the good news, the bad news is that it lost quite a few scales in the process of emerging, spoiling the photo opportunity.
