While staying in Bampton Grange, Cumbria, we noticed several patches of butterbur and tried for the moth - with some success.

Genital determinations for Isles of Scilly residents have added Mompha divisella (from Bob Dawson) and Endothenia oblongana (from Mick Scott)

49.187 Endothenia oblongana; St Mary's IOS; 02/08/2022

The genital determination service seems to be going well, so I am now opening it up to other British moth-ers. See GENITAL DETERMINATION SERVICE for details.
