Anarsia innoxiella
The night of the 12th June here at Warndon was mild with some drizzle and the best macros were Small Emerald and Barred Straw. A micro potted off the first egg tray took my eye as I had found it before in Suffolk and at Wicken Fen, Cambs. A very different shape to most common Gelechids I get here. Later detailed examination by Patrick Clement confirmed it was indeed a male Anarsia innoxiella - a first county record. The species arrived in Wilts at Swindon in 2016 so I guess it was expected here at some stage.
