Minute moths

A good set of regular moths in the trap this morning, with nothing new on the macro front. However, 2 new micro moths, a Crassa unitella and Parornix anglicella. The latter disappeared after its photo call so no gen disc to confirm species so it won't be added to county records. Not too much of an issue as it can probably be found on every hawthorn bush in the county, just so small that it is very difficult to find. Also, a photo of the colourful Carcina quercana. A phoenix was the highlight of the macro collection.
