  Jeremy Tatum writes:  The moths are easy – but the ichneumonid wasp isn’t!  It bears more than a passing resemblance to Limonethe mauratur<\/em><\/strong>.  It’s even possible that that’s what it is.<\/p>\n

Jochen M\u00f6hr’s moths from Metchosin this morning:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 Drepanulatrix <\/em><\/strong>sp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 Ennomos magnaria<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Noctua pronuba<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Plemyria georgii <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

6 Pleromelloida cinerea<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Sunira decipiens<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Schizura ipomoeae<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Tetracis <\/em><\/strong>sp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   Not all moths are as easy to identify as Ron’s  two above.  While the first of Jochen’s below is certainly Plemyria georgii<\/em><\/strong>, <\/strong>the second is more difficult.  It is Drepanulatrix <\/em> – but which one?  It could be D. secundaria, <\/em>but, writes Jeremy Tatum, I’m going to go for  <\/em>Drepanulatrix monicaria<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

   And if Drepanularix <\/em>is tricky,  Eupithecia<\/em> is downright hard!  Jeremy Tatum believes that the one below is probably Eupithecia annulata<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
