Longhorns, Yellow-faced Bell and Red Piercer

Little Long-horn, Cauchas fibulella
Further visits to Rewell Wood have shown me two more Longhorn moths, including the tiny Little Long-horn, and a new micromoth, the Yellow-faced Bell. The Commonest moths are still ‘Small Purple and Gold’, followed by Dark Strawberry Tortrix, Red Piercer, Meadow Grey and the tiny (3mm) Cocksfoot Moth.
