| | | Another Moth ID please Saw this moth fluttering round the garden and wondered what it was. Never seen one before. The moth (if thats what it is) was about 3-4 mil in length. To give you some idea, the piece of dirt its feeling is snail poo, rather it than me! Any suggestions? Thanks. |

| | | Re: Another Moth ID please I don't think this is a moth at all: it looks to me to be a woolly/waxy aphid of some kind. I think I can just make out 6 antennal segments and clear (hyaline) wings.
These are amazing little beasts through a hand lens: the protective covering of 'wool' or wax really hides the shape of the insect. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
