Hi Colin, have you looked at Cydia splendana for your micro?
Hello Charlie - Thanks for that - that looks a very good fit - I only managed the one image as it flew off into the night - I have a load of chalk micros which i havent got round to logging yet - may pop them uo over the winter months to keep the blog flowing A fair idea of the genus having come accross Cydia ulicetana Grey Gorse Piercer before on gorse there are some chestnuts accross the rivene and plenty of oak making it a good candidate
Great to see more of your 'tips' this time on the Copper Underwings Colin.
