Andy, I notice in Tutt, the reference to Coleophora albicosta is wrongly indexed - it's actually on page 41 section TWO (not one).
"The easiest way to take C. albicosta is to beat the imagines out of sheltered furze bushes, on warm afternoons in late May."
No reason not to find the cases now though!
Charlie.
Thanks Charlie,I found the adults in late May after reading the exact passage you refer to.
I went looking yesterday but could not find owt but they must be there.??
found plenty cases on juncuss at Cromwell as well.
