A chilly and v muddy wander in a wood on the eastern edge of Bedfordshire yesterday afternoon resulted in adding Ectoedemia quinquella to the site and the first records since the 1990s for 2 10km squares. Also a nice mine of Stigmella basiguttella all in fallen Oak leaves #TeamMoth

A extremely quiet walk early morning, resulted in just this vacated leafmine of either Agromyza sulfuriceps/Agromyza idaeiana, on Bramble. Both species require rearing to establish an id.
