Description: Two more day-fliers Another duo of year first Micro's found flying in the garden this evening. Interestingly I have found that the best way to find them is to water the garden with a watering can, thus disturbing them and quickly potting them up. The Phyllonorycter is Phyllonorycter coryli, narrowed down by several Hazel leaves I found last year in the garden, some of which had exited mines in them, a first in adult form for the garden. The other micro was Epermenia chaerophyllella, a moth I caught once last year. Trapping tonight after a few cold nights off, at the moment we have cloud cover!. Date: 17 April 2014, 17:42.
