    A couple of my recent shots of micro moths that have caused a bit of a stir with the Irish recorder of such at UCC. These little fellas haven’t been recorded in Waterford since before 1986. Wonder where they were hiding? :?

    Thanks Jenny.
    They are about 5mm in lenght. I’ve only being doing macro for about 2 yrs (or less), so you’re probably right. :lol: They are unusual for moths because the adults mouthparts are fully developed & they feed on pollen.
