Back to yesterday for another exciting if slightly obscure little discovery by Will Langton during his Large Tortoiseshell exploration at Church Ope Cove. This tiny blotch mine on a honeysuckle leaf contains a larva of the Honeysuckle Dwarf Perittia obscurepunctella - the first record for Portland. Although described as widely distributed in England, this species appears on the basis of the few county records to be very rare in Dorset as a whole - it's a small, insignificant-looking early season flyer so we'll take a punt on it actually being more widespread in the county but largely overlooked © Will Langdon:
