Hi John,
your moth is Ethmia bipunctella - which is actually a British species too, though very local and scarce in the UK.
Essentially, it likes open habitats with Viper's Bugloss and other Borages to feed on. In Britain, the HQ for this
species is Dungeness and a few other limestone-shingle beaches in Kent and Sussex. Nice photo!
I was delighted to see that you'd booked for the Butterfly and Dragonfly Tour - look forward to seeing
you again.
Regards,
Martin

Day 6 Thursday 08th May
Siatista; Mount Grammos; Monodendri.
Weather: sunny till midafternoon, than heavy rain with T-storms, very hot to cool (30ºC-
10ºC).
After breakfast we decided to take another look around Siatista, with the hope of seeing the eluding until that
moment Eastern Greenish Black-tip (Fig. 15). Ultimately echoed the cry of Wilf - finally found! Also we
observed around Blue Argus (Fig. 16), Lesser Spotted Fritillary. Now we could safely move to the next base
in North Pindos. We were among virgin nature on brand new and wide asphalt road in the mountains and
after about an hour we stopped in the folds of Grammos Mountain, where our short walk confronted us with
more common species - Speckled Wood, Glanville Fritillary, Scarce Swallowtail and the joy of James -
Peacock. We admired the grandeur of Aoos Gorge near Konitsa, together with typical arched bridges and
snow-capped peaks and headed to Voidomatis Gorge. There were 3 types of orchids, but while we enjoyed
them black clouds came over us and not long after that we heard the sound of the first thunders,
foreshadowing for the ensuing heavy rain. Under torrential rain and hail, we headed to the hotel, located in
Monodendri.
