Eriocrania subpurpurella

A common micro moth of oak woodlands Eriocrania subpurpurella is a tiny moth, only around 7-8 mm in length. I've also added Common Pug and Lesser Swallow Prominent to the year list. Numbers and species variety are still well down due to the low night time temperatures. Maybe the forecast rain will help.

I did add one moth to the micro year list last night Eriocrania subpurpurella. This attractive golden moth is about 10mm in length and occurs in oak woodland where it can be seen in large numbers flying in the sunshine.
