Found these at 22.40 just as daylight was fading a bit. Hard to focus on as Security Lighting at Scatsta Airport hadn't kicked in. S.graminum :) or pallida :| or something else B)

Thanks Paul...
Hmmm...the dreaded "cf". I've got a couple swimming around ( actually lying on the bottom) in a container of Vodka, if you want to give them the once over :), or whatever it is you guys do.
Here is a photo of the unfortunate couple...:|

Regards Roger

Edit...Assuming these are cf.graminum too.

You can drop the dreaded 'cf.', it is a genuine graminum copula. :D
