As Phyllonorycter are easy to rear (usually) they have emerged a little earlier than they should.
Photos are not brilliant but moths are recognisable. P.maestingella from Beech (Fagus) and P.trifasciella from Honeysuckle (Lonicera).. The latter is under recorded here in Ceredigion, I really should get out there and find more. If you have any Honeysuckle local to you please have a look for the blotch mine and cones and maybe we can fill a few more squares.
Photos here of feeding signs etc.
