Good day today. Would have liked to have made 100 by the end of the weekend and if fungi and mosses weren't so tricky to ID I might have done. Enjoying the snails more than I expected.
Three possible A. schalleriana at the moth trap in the evening will have to be confirmed but could be a garden tick.
Quite pleased with the micro-moth larva. Took a few teasel heads and this was in the second one I checked (and the only occupied one of the batch as it turned out). To distinguish the larva from E. marginana it is necessary to check for a comb in between the anal prolegs. Absent in this case, confirming the ID. E. gentianaeana also occupies the head alone , whereas there can be multiple occupants in the case of marginana.

They all count though Joyce. I'll try to find some more appealing creatures.
