The Sprawler and Acleris sparsana
Love these reports. I had my first ever Sprawler a couple of weeks ago. Name did seem strange for a fairly ordinary moth. I love moth trapping for still turning up new species four years in.
Fascinating research! (Re the Sprawler, perhaps you might have given a mention to the ‘claws’ on the front legs, which are so easily visible in this species - eg https://www.flickr.com/photos/149980226@N06/54924114415/in/dateposted-public/
Thanks Clive, yes I should have mentioned these strange ‘claws’. Need to do a bit more research to see what other purposes might have been suggested!
Congratulations and thank you very much!
