Hi all,just found this argyresthia retinella,not so sure whether its typical habitat, Morrisons !! though there are some birch nearby,all the best Bri.
This blog has been set up so local people can find out what is going on in the world of Moths, Butterflys and dragonflies in Calderdale.If you have any ID problems put up your photo's and someone will try and help you to id it.

Hi Bri,not a moth I knew about until the last couple of weeks until singles on consecutive visits to N.Dean (lots of Birch there).A wonderful little group the argyresthias - some real stunners in amongst!
Yes,you are right there Charlie,like tiny metallic jewels,its hard to describe when seen close up ! hows your phyllo quest going ? found a few mines on field maple,that look interesting.are you familiar with p acerifoliella ?
Not really Bri, but then again I'm not really familiar with wild maples, only the ones in parks and avenues etc.If you think they're occupied just bung the leaves in an airtight jar letting the moisture out and fresh air in for a couple of minutes every day and see what pops out. It looks a cracking adult.
Cheers for tips Charlie,il give it a shot,ive said it before and il say it again,theres just too much going on,i dont know how you manage to stay focussed !
