A micro-moth, Grapholita jungiella, which some call "Vetch Piercer". ID confirmed on iSpot & Hants Moths - thanks!! I hadn't intended to pick this one up, but it's grass stalk was shaking in the wind. I was holding the stalk still for the camera, when the moth decided my thumbnail might be comfortable. Found in a chalk meadow, Magdalen Hill Down butterfly reserve, Winchester, Hampshire, UK, 30th April 2014. OS Grid Ref: SU 506 290

Summary[edit] Description: A belated sweeping session yields 3 new moths for me Back on the 21st of May I had a brief hour sweeping session along a wildflower field at the edge of Hexton Chalk Pit just about in Hertfordshire (As it border's bedfordshire strangely on both sides). I ended up with a few nice moths including 3 firsts for me, Marsh Pug, Common Heath and Pancalia leuwenhoekella, all three species quite scarce in Herts. If that wasn't enough I caught up with a little beauty that i've only ever seen once before, the tiny shiney Stephensia brunnichella. The weather was warm with highs of 22c but a little breezy which made netting tricky at times. Full list below of species seen but no counts given There is still a Stigmella sp, Parornix sp and 2x Dichrorampha sps to gen det.
