Secondly, a tricky micro. I believe this to be Agonopterix arenella, moth #697 but may yet be proved wrong. Photo sent to a micro expert. This moth now been identified as Agonopterix heracliana, a common moth, but still a new moth for the garden.

New moth for parish records.
2 species this morning, one being my first micro of the year and the other, a new record for my parish list
Firstly, a dark chestnut. This is new to my parish list, species number 253. This is identifiable from chestnut by the small white patches on the edge of the wings and also, frequently a darker shade of chestnut.
Secondly, a tricky micro. I believe this to be Agonopterix arenella, moth #697 but may yet be proved wrong. Photo sent to a micro expert. This moth now been identified as Agonopterix heracliana, a common moth, but still a new moth for the garden.
