Description: Agonopterix ciliella - 17/07/16 - Braughing Farmland Hello all. I finally got round to checking some of my specimens. This Agonopterix heracliana/ciliella was trapped on my parents farm on the 17th of July and was retained to confirm which species it actually was. I can now confirm that it is indeed Agonopterix ciliella and a first for the farm and my firs Herts record after checking countless specimens. From external observations, the moth seems to have a slight purplish tinge to it though this may no be consistent among all specimens. Photos of the specimen are below. Date: 30 July 2016, 08:55.
