We have (I think) done a bit better than before in identifying micros in recent days, partly because of the number which have been flagged up on here by others and have also turned up in Wolvercote. However, there's a selection below which have foxed us: first, what we think may be
Acleris aspersana (it was about 7mm long); an
Epinotia species, if we're correct; a couple of photos of a species we can't place at all; what we think may be a
Schoenobius gigantella; a possible
Calamotropha paludella; and what may be a
Phyllonorycter harrisella. Steve and Xander Goddard.

Hi Steve, I think the 5th image (4th moth) is Donacaula forficella. It's not one I've ever seen, so hopefully someone else who has can confirm.
ReplyDeleteCalamotropha paludella and Phyllonorycter harrisella are correct, Steve. Your unknown micro (2 pics) is probably something like a worn Ditula angustiorana.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, both - that makes a lot of sense.
