Slightly fewer micros, but perhaps rather more confusion about them... I think we have here a Brown House-moth (
Hoffmanophila pseudospretella); a
Pyrausta aurata (the photo doesn't show them, but the hindwings looked right), which was flying in the garden this afternoon; a
Telechrysis tripuncta (awful photo, but the light this morning as we sheltered from the rain in our shed was very poor), a species we had on three days in June and July last year and which I think is quite unusual; and a couple of almost complete mysteries, the first of which may be
Eana incanana, but the second of which I have no idea of. Again, all suggestions gratefully accepted. Steve and Xander Goddard.

Yes to Hofmannophila pseudospretella. The Pyrausta I need to se the underwings. The next one I'll let someone else do, the next looks more like a Cnephasia species and the last is a Coleophorid.
ReplyDeleteHello Steve, the third one is as you suggest, while the fourth is definitely a Cnephasia and not Eana incanana.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, both (and Peter on the macros)!
