C.Rayz's photos with the keyword: Dark Fleabane Neb

Need to get this one verified but we're pretty sure of the ID. Nationally Scarce (Nb) and a bit late in the year so we'll see. Update: We have confirmed the ID, after finding more of these 'feeding' on Common Fleabane, turns out they were laying eggs not feeding, they are infact 'Dark Fleabane Neb Apodia bifractella ' Quite common but very secretive, usually only active in the evenings and don't come to light usually. So all in all a good record.

So this is the guy I was over at Combe Haven in the evening to find. Hence all the shots of 'things' on fleabane...lol Its not a rare moth per say but it is 'secretive', they are not especially attracted to light, and they fly in the early to late evening laying eggs on Common Fleabane. I had found them at my friends Meadow and again at Pebsham Marshes so just for my own sake wanted to know if we could find them at Combe Haven. I did eventually find two, this one decided to hide under the flower, maybe thats where they spend the days...lol
