This is a bit off subject for WABI, but has anyone any knowledge of French Micro moths?
I've recently been in the Haute-Loire departement of the Auvergne, and photographed a few day flying micro moths, but am having extreme difficulties identifying them.
I'm desperate to find some kind of resource to help me, but can't find any decent websites or books that can help me.
Any suggestions as to where I might look would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation
Dave

You could try the butterfly/moth ID section of Bird Forums which has an international audience with some good moth experts on there.

I don't know if it's breaking the rules or not but I'm happy for you to post a link here and I'll take a look, I'd imagine some will be similar to UK species.

I've had some help from birdforum members, and the only id outstanding is this pyralid. Approx 1.5cm wingspan as pictured. I've been through 'Goater' looking for similarities to British species, and also www.pithpiva.wifeo.com which was recommended, but without success. It may be a very worn example, which won't help matters. If you can provide any suggestions I'd appreciate it! Thanks Apologies, I've accidentally added the image twice, and don't seem able to delete 1 copy!  Unidentified_Pyralid_MothA4-0213 by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr |

Hi I am no good with moths, but this site to which I contribute Butterfly photographs may help www.lepidoptera.eu/Grumpy |
