On the upside from more or less novice I managed to identify about a dozen or so.
So in no particular order
Light Brown Apple Moth (I keep think I may be missing other species)
Dusky Brocade?
worn Brindled Pug?
Cabbage Moth
Epiblema trimaculata or E. Rosaecolana
I have some more but the upload is playing tonight

I'll go along with your choices there, Mark, apart from the pug - there really is no point putting up pictures of worn pugs! The Epiblema would have been do-able with a clearer picture taken out of the egg-box (the strigulae, those white dashes along the leading of the wing, are the way to tell rosaecolana and trimaculana apart). They're both common and I expect you'll get both in your trap, as well as roborana which will be along to join them soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not yet acquainted with Dusky Brocade but this example looks a lot like Dark Arches to me?

Yes I think it is a Dark Arches.
