2 for ID please

I think the first maybe just a variety of Dark Arches - the other has me stumped.

    Hi Mark, yes to Dark Arches. I think your second one is Dusky Brocade which is quite a variable moth. The size fits and it has the 'W' marking in the outer cross-line which rules out some of the other contenders at this time of year.

    thanks Dave, Dusky Brocade was one of the possibles I looked at but I couldn't find an exact image match.

    Hi Mark,

    Have a look at "Dusky Brocade on the Norfolk moths web site. Think it's a dead ringer!
