| Black-tipped Ermine, Yponomeuta plumbella |
On Friday I visited Houghton Forest and Fairmile Bottom,
which proved to be rich in micro moths with six new species. These included two Bright
Bell, a colony of Black-tipped Ermine, a Syncopacma moth and a Light Brown
Apple Moth which is believed to be an Australian introduction into Cornwall in
the early 20th century.
