   Yesterday Jochen Möhr photographed a micro moth in Metchosin,  and this morning he photographed a handsome noctuid, which he identified as Acerra normalis.  Libby Avis gives what she describes as a “VERY tentative” identification of the micro as Epinotia emarginana, although, writes Jeremy Tatum, I’m going to label it “probable” rather than merely “possible”.  I think Libby probably has it right!
