Members of Norfolk Moth Survey and Friends of Earlham Cemetery spent the morning looking at leaf mines in Earlham Cemetery.

Stewart Wright compiled a list of findings.

Grid reference: TG212087
Site: Earlham Cemetery (East).

All the mines had been created by micromoth larvae. Records in bold were sightings of adult moths.


Thanks to Ken Saul and members of Norfolk Moth Survey for a very interesting and enjoyable visit.
