As I was just about to put the moth trap away, this and a couple of others were still inside!
Any ideas? I have taken a look at your micros Adam, bit tricky, but will have a go  |

This one's a Caddisfly Julian. I don't know whether this one's distinctive, but apparently they are usually very tricky to id to species (even trickier than micros  )

I'd say it's probablly a cinnamon sedge - Limnephilus lunatus. A beauty!

So it's not Limnephilus centralis then! Thanks Dave, glad it's a good one. |

They are tricky and I'm no expert, hence the "probably" (with an extra l for good measure). But the crescent on the back end of the wing is suggestive of lunatus.
