Mike, the warden of the local Nature Reserve has called around a couple of time this week with little challenges for me in the form of Micro Moths to photograph and identify. I’m only just getting to grips with the Macro Moths so the micros are pretty difficult.

The first was this which I think is Eriocrania subpurpurella.

The second one was a little more lively and therefore difficult to photograph but I got there in the end. I think it could be Phyllonorcyter stettinensis.

Of course, if anyone knows better then please let me know.
