With apologies, the following have left us uncertain over the last couple of days: first, what looks like, and probably is, a knackered White Ermine in a rather unusual stance (but which I'm including in case it's something rare that we've overlooked...); then four varied micros which may prove to be incapable of identification; and, inevitably, a couple of undistinguished-looking pugs, which could well be the same species. As ever, and ideas would be very welcome indeed. Steve and Xander Goddard.

ReplyDeleteI would probably go for Freyer's and Mottled for the two pugs. rob
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, here's my 2p's worth: micro 1 looks like Acrobasis consociella and Unknown Pug 2 looks like Mottled.
ReplyDeleteMicro 3 is a Glyphipterix species, probably thrasonella.
ReplyDeleteAs a general point to everyone requesting IDs, can I ask again that you extract the moths from the egg boxes and provide some kind of scale before photographing, the easiest way being to lay a ruler next to the moth. This applies equally to macros as well as micros.
Many thanks, both. Will do what I can on photo presentation, Dave: like Martin, my time's a bit limited, though it should improve a little in a couple of weeks.
