Blotched Emerald, and help with some new micros

My garden trap attracted this lovely Blotched Emerald on Sunday night, a first for the garden.


I am working my way through some micros. I wondered if the moth below is Luquetia lobella?


And is this one (fw length 8mm) Homoeosoma sinuella?


Finally, any suggestions for the orangey brown one below?

  1. I agree with your first two micros and the third looks like Lathronympha strigana with a worn patch in the middle of the dorsum.

    1. Many thanks Martin. You are correct about the worn patch on the Lathronympha - there was a slight "potting accident" as the moth tried to escape, causing the loss of the orange scales in the middle.
