Tackle Ticks

I finally had the tackle of a number of specimens from the summer and early autumn checked out by Andy Mackay, which confirmed new for garden species and a couple of surprises:

Endothenia marginana

Endothenia oblongana - a full blown tick for me, and only the 4th or so VC55 record (all recent)

Cnephasia genitalana - proving that it is worth getting individuals checked through the season

Dichrorampha flavidorsana - another British tick

Apodia bifractella

Adaina microdactyla

I've also realised that this one appears to have slipped through without being mentioned in the blog: Gelechia sororculella, a tick for me and only 2nd VC55 record.
