The Blastobasis sp. I found on Nov. 30-Dec 02 has now been confirmed (without dissection) by the CMR as B. vittata on account of the 'clear black shoulder marks'. Be interesting to see how he feels about the one I found this morning alongside 2 moths that look more like adustella. VC25 #teammmoth.

This morning's walk around the park, VC25, produced 3 Common Plumes (one of them looking very frosty), a lovely Mottled Umber and 11 Winter Moths. #teammoth.
