Parc slip yesterday.


              The same Ash bud moth photographed by Vaughn yesterday.
              Has P. ruficeps been split yet, and does it need a gen det?

    They have been split. It there is no indication of the markings of the typical Prays fraxinella, and it has a 'rufous' head then it is apparently safe to record it as ruficeps (as yours appears to be). There are no consistent features in the genitalia, so no point dissecting them!
