Eudonia delunella- evidently becoming more frequent
Captured 6 individuals of Eudonia delunella over the last few weeks at probably 3 new sites.
A quick check with Sam Bosanquet underlined the fact that this micro is becoming more recorded over the last few years in Vice County 35.
It could be a little is down to recorders being more attentive to catches for one, but surely given the increase in sightings it is spreading or widely established already, it just needs finding.
Eudonia delunella (Pied Grey) Scarce B
Given I've trapped at the locations listed below at around this time of year before without a single sighting it appears to be establishing quickly. I wondered on the other hand if I had overlooked it before at these locations by rechecking my photographic files, but it appears not.
Sightings so far:
9th June- Chepstow Town-1
20th June- Traphill Wood, Mounton -2
23rd June- Great Barnets Wood, Mounton -3
It could be more widely distributed than we think and may turn up at many more places possibly, one to keep an eye out for.
