More for IDs

Almost caught up - I have a number I can't find. One thing I find really irritatting is when I think I've got a match and then discover it's something rare and only been seen once in a branch of Tesco's in Torquay. So unfortunately I have quite a few unknowns from today.

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.

    I'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.
