This Ypsolopha mucronella was star catch at Dingestow Court MV on 11th March 2017 - there are only 4 previous Monmouthshire records, two of them from the 1970s. It was very jumpy and flew off as soon as I tipped it out of the pot in the hope of taking a better photo. The MV attracted 42 moths of 15 species, which is pretty good for mid March. A couple of Grey Shoulder-knot and another Plutella xylostella were notable.
