Sorry to add yet more pugs to the requests for help but having caught 15 pugs last night I feel I am going a bit pug blind. The majority were I think very worn specimens of Brindled Pug. however these three were less worn.
I have also included a photo of what I think is Incurvaria masculella and a macro that is a bit worn and that I feel I ought to know.
Any help much appreciated as always.

Hi Andy, I'd hazard a guess at Oak-tree, Brindled and Ochreous in that order for your three pugs. Yes to Incurvaria masculella, although I should add that it helps to try for a more side-on view of many micro species rather than taking the picture from directly on top (unless it rests "flat" like for example an Agonopterix). I suppose the last one must be Red Twin-spot Carpet but it has certainly been through the mill rather quickly for a moth which is only emerging around now!
ReplyDeleteThank you that is helpful. I do have a side shot of the micro but it does not show the antennae.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Dave on all of those
