Re the first moth - Lesser Common Rustic - seems a bit earlier and bigger than I remember. If it is - is that a definate ID? Unfortunately I didn't keep it.
The micro I was thinking Scoparia ambigualis?

Lesser Common Rustic? Scoparia ambigualis
Last night got a Grey/Dark Dagger. I've had both White and Buff Ermine last week.

Hi Mark, I'd agree with Scoparia ambigualis but the other one I'll leave to the experts. Had my first Vine's Rustic today so I can foresee some more queries coming!
ReplyDeleteLesser Common Rustic? I hope that was a slip of the keyboard, Mark, otherwise summer must be nearly over - you have a Rustic Shoulder-knot! Always worth checking the Hants Moths "what's flying tonight" page to see what is feasible at this time of year.
