An update from a trapping event at Cromwell Bottom on Aug. 19th last year, here:

I've contacted both Harry and Charlie Fletcher and it seems very likely that the small plume caught that night is Tansy Plume. It would be nice if we could find some Tansy nearby to key in with this record.

I had a walk over North loop the other day and was surprised to see how much Yarrow there is up there.I am not doubting the id of this species but there must be a good chance that the very similar Yarrow Plume is resident up there as well , One to look out for in the summer. I am pretty sure I saw Tansy up there last year....
Yes I'm sure I've seen Tansy by the river a few times can't remember where though.
Still have the plume and the hindlegs are definitely banded. You would have thought Yarrow Plume would have shown up by now............
