IDs please

I think I maybe have Aethes cnicana (sorry I didn't get the size) and Limmaecia phragmitella. I also got a Short-cloacked moth with is new to me.

    It's rubigana not cnicana.

    Hi Mark, Limnaecia phragmitella is indeed correct. Despite its food-plant (bulrush) it certainly isn't restricted to damp places and seems to turn up everywhere.
