  1. You had a really good moth session! 10 new species, I think? Posted 4 years ago
    1. Yes 10 out of which 9 are moths. More than I expected. Posted 4 years ago
      1. That's fantastic. It's probably more than double the new species I would get on an awesome night. Posted 4 years ago

''Cydia splendana'', the chestnut tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe. It is also known as the acorn moth, but this can also refer to ''Blastobasis glandulella'' from North America, which belongs to the more primitive family Blastobasidae.
