Flatropers Wood survey update

Although this Lappet at Woods Mill yesterday stole the show, being one of my long standing bogeys, we did have a number of interesting records from Flatropers Wood on the survey there. The best being the nationally scarce (Nb) White-line Snout which was new to me and the very attractive micro Caloptilia alchimiella. Other nice moths included Satin Lutestring and the nationally scarce Anania verbascalis. Also new for me was the lacebubg off ivy Derephysia foliacea and the hopper off oak Iassus lanio. Next stop Burton Mill Pond on Monday for the next survey!
