Blastobasis lacticolella. I only just discovered that it is sometimes called the London Dowd. According to the Norfolk Moths site:
"Accidentally introduced to Britain around 1946, now established and expanding its range. How it reached Britain (native in Madeira) a mystery!"
I do know that it was highly unlikely to have been brought over in a bottle of that very fine wine, Madeira.
Blastobasis lacticolella.
Also today:
1 x Marbled Beauties, grey/black form.
1 x Riband Wave, non banded.
1 x Eudonia lacustrata. - Fairly certain on this. It looked like the standard text book one. Light greyish, very few markings in the lower part of the wings. (Ignoring all the variations they show!).
