.... and Two Micros
We also caught these two micros. The first I believe is Acleris sparsana. The second I think is one of the family Blastobasidae - probably Blastobasis lacticolella. Under the microscope we could see the strongly upcurved labial palps, the well developed tongue and the base of the antenna (scape) with a scaly tuft (pecten) but the antennae were quite short (well under the stated 2/3 length of the forewing). Further advice would be appreciated.

A.sparsana looks good, but not sure I could say one way or the other about the worn one. I am back to 'the feel' of it again!! Have you still got it?
