I had this Gelechid in this morning's trap in Blackwood ST171966 VC35 - it dies seem to resemble Exiteleia dodecella but am not sure. Help with ID much appreciated. @mothiduk.bsky.social #MothsMatter #teammoth #VC35

Well, it was a not-too-great haul of 38 of 10 species this morning at RSPB Newport Wetlands, but the cold wind did subside, and the EMP lure attracted a male in 5 minutes! #MothsMatter #teammoth #VC35 @rspbcymru.bsky.social
