Hello! Tony Irwin wrote: I think almost certainly Agriphila straminella Yes. There are millions of them on meadows in the summer here in our region...

Thanks Tony and Juergen I came to the same conclusion after looking around the Web. Very common here too I think. They are very active and hard to photograph, so I was lucky to catch them in a position where they could be photographed. Regards Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 07-03-2009 11:12 |
