Chilo phragmitella and Heliothis nubigera ?

Have I identified these correctly?  They were taken last night at a 40Watt bulb over a Skinner type trap at Linford Lakes close to a reed bed.  Gordon Redford.

    Hi Gordon, I think your bottom moth is a Small Dotted Buff.

      Thank you Darren. The odd thing was that all the other Small Dotted Buffs taken at Linford Lakes have been much smaller.

    Darren is correct, Gordon. Nice try with Eastern Bordered Straw, though!

      Thank you Dave. As I said to Darren, all the others taken at Linford Lakes have been much smaller with that brown triangular much less conspicuous.
