Received confirmation from the county recorder, Colin, that the micro moth I had on Saturday night is indeed Acleris literana. This is a moth on the Herts. rare list, with only 7 records between 1890 and 2006! Last few have been from Welwyn 1995, Digswell 2003 and Bishop's Stortford 2004. Photo attached. Equivalent in the birding world would be coming across a hoopoe in Stortford!!
