On Wednesday I visited Houghton Forest and found a path
around the forest that I had not used before. The nettle beds were
very productive and I found plenty of new species of microfauna. New micromoths
were the Brown Midget Apple and an Epiblema species. I also found my second Common
Yellow Conch, a clutch of Hairy Shieldbug eggs and an early instar of the Pied
Shieldbug. Plus the second specimen of a tiny brown moth which has yet to be identified. It may be Eulamprotes unicolorella or E. immaculatella, rare and tiny moths, or Monochroa tenebrella, a commoner moth. The other specimen was on the
east side of Rewell Wood, so it is widespread in this area.
