Three micros and a pug from Shropshire (1 Viewer)

[Mike Shurmer]

Can anyone help with these micro's from Saturday night. The first two are the same moth. I also caught this pug which I have included on the off-chance that anyone can do something with this.

1. Blastobasis adustella
2. Agriphila geniculea
3. Agriphila tristella
4. I would forget it personally.

Thanks Sean. Pug duly forgotten.

On the pug, if small - albeit it looks like a female so not tiny - for me, a Maple Pug on the basis of the abdomen colour. See the colour of the abdomen on Paul Harris' photo on the link:-

Hi Paul. The pug was small. The lid it is photographed is for a 30mm diameter pot.

As the size fits, I would say Maple Pug on that basis.

All the best
