Amphisbatis incongruella

Amphisbatis incongruella

Not the most colourful of moths but the first Worcester record of the species for 35 years, according to my Mapmate.
Hartlebury Common is the only site for it in Worcs but also recorded at Kinver Edge, Staffs, a few years ago.
4 individuals swept from heather in about 30 mins yesterday.

  1. Nice one Patrick. I see its bits are almost as exciting as the moth as well. Always a shame when the background twig is more colourful...

  2. Brilliant. That's one I can cross off my 'not seen in over a decade" list!

  3. Amazing - your photography even manages to make incongruella look interesting!
