IDs and confirmations please

Saw the first Scarlet Tiger flying around the garden yesterday afternoon and one in the trap (maybe the same one), this morning.

The first two I think might be just slightly different examples of familiar species,  Riband Wave and Willow Beauty?


The next two photos of the same individual I'm thinking Coleophora sp? but equally a micro caddis

The next two photos I think is Coleophora sp. but however good a shot I manage it will need a chop?

The final one is Scoparia ambigualis?

    First two are correct.
    3 & 4 are caddis - antennae too long for Coleophora
    5 & 6 may also be caddis, but not sure
    7 I'll leave for someone else

    Hi Mark, 5 and 6 do look to me like a Coleophorid but your comment is correct - very few of this family can be ID'd safely on sight! The scoparid at the end I would say was ambigualis.

    thanks both - the Coleophorid is currently queued for the chop.
