Thanks for that interesting information Theo.

I have run a moth trap in my garden for several years and have never, to my knowledge, caught Nongaria typhae ( Bulrush wainscot ) although I have had several other types of Wainscot. The large pond I mentioned just outside my garden used to have Typha latifolia growing in it but, to my disappointment, it was removed 4 or 5 years ago. I don't have any in my garden.

I have sent the specimen to Chris so hopefully he will come up with the answer :)

Best wishes

Peter
