Lathronympha strigana
The second I believe is a Coleophora species, but would it be possible to say which one from the photos?
The third I have very little hope of identifying but am including it nevertheless:
Thank you to anyone brave enough to volunteer an opinion!
Looks like C discordella, a Bird's-foot Trefoil feeder. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteL. strigana looks good. Wouldn't like to say on the 3rd one, probably one of the rush feeding Coleophora.
Thank you George. I should have checked with Chris Manley 2nd edn., it's a good likeness for the illustration of C discordella.
ReplyDeleteI think it's probably a common but under-recorded species. You can find the larval cases and mines on Bird's-foot Trefoil in the spring.
