Chestnut - 4
Eriocrania subpurpurella - 10+
Twin-spotted Quaker - 2
Common Quaker - 12
Brindled Pug - 3
Water Carpet - 4
Brimstone - 1
Clouded Drab - 4
Streamer - 1

Lesser Swallow Prominent - 1



Small Quaker - 2

A little bit of exploration also revealed the larva of Endothenia sp. in a teasel head



 and cases of Coleophora laricella on larch.
