As I think I've mentioned before, Alan, the Agonopterix should be recorded as the heracliana/ciliella aggregate at least until you've had some of them critically examined. You don't give a size for your unknown moth (something that's quite important) but it has a hint of having once been a Small Quaker. Don't take that as confirmed though - more often than not you won't get anywhere with moths in that condition and we all have to accept that occasionally not everything is going to be identified!

ReplyDeleteThanks, as always Dave.
ReplyDeleteHow would I have moths critically examined?
Unknown moth certainly of Small Quaker size and I am getting a lot of them.
