Hello, from Steve Garten and welcome to my weird and wonderful world of moths.

Iā€™m amateur Lepidopterist, I trap and record moth species on my six acre wildlife meadow at Tibenham Norfolk, UK.

The list of moths listed in this Micro-moths blog and the Macro Moths blog are the species I have recorded since 2015.

Common Grey - Scoparia ambigualis.

Common Grey - Scoparia ambigualis. A micro moth species from the family of Crambidae , subfamily Scopariinae. The moth has a wingspan of 15 to 22mm. One of several very similar moths which can be rather difficult to separate. Its habitat is deciduous woodland and moorland. This moth can be found on the wing from May to July and can be found resting on tree trunks or rocks. The species' life history is that the larva feeds on various mosses. This species is widespread and classified as a common species in the UK.
