Ypsolopha mucronella
A lovely Ypsolopha mucronella in the Dingestow MV on 21st December was just the 7th record of this distinctive Micro for VC35, following two in Usk in the 1970s, three at Dingestow in 1999 and 2017, and one in Monmouth in 2002. The Mothscount map shows this species has not been recorded from any other Welsh counties, so this is a notable Welsh record too.
