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?

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