Another micro

Caught one or two of these in the garden, I think they're bryotropha domestica? Just looked up VC49 records and there's only one previous record in 1998.

  1. Hi J, this looks a lot like Oegoconia quadripuncta which I caught 3 of this year, only one of which was confirmed by AG. Good local record.

  2. Did look at those Rob, thought the above had some spots on it but think you might be right. Let CR decide!

  3. Crickey, just looked at database, only one North Wales record of Oegoconia quadripuncta! And that was relatively close at Welsh Mountain Zoo.

  4. Yeap, I think I had one record (picture only) last year and 2 this year with only the one going for gd. Markings look spot on just a bit faded.
