Tufted Button (aka Acleris cristana)

Things have been pretty slow on the moth front since last time I posted, but there has been a trickle of moths.  The stand-out highlight was a Tufted Button Acleris cristana - not a rare species by any means but my first.

Others new for the year were Common Flat-body Agonopterix heracliana on 22nd, Hebrew Character on 26th and March Moth on 28th.
