Micro ID - Lickey Hills
Posted: Sat May 19, 2012 6:12 pm
Today I spotted this little beastie... It was it in a quite a distict heathland habitat, which is quite a rarity in itself around these parts. It stood out to me as the wing shape is different to all the other micro moths I have seen.
So, any ideas on the ID? Is it even a moth?
Cheers, Alex
Location: Bilberry Hill, Lickey, Worcestershire.
Habitat: Scattered silver birch on a steep heathland dominated by Bilberry and Ling. Also present: Rowan, Wild Strawberry.
Flight: Smooth and slow.
Size: approx 5mm.
Apologies for the poor photography!
