More micro queries

I think the first may be Epiblema costipunctana. I'm not sure about the other 2. Both 9mm in length.

  1. Hi Andy, I suppose the first must be Epiblema costipunctana although I'm not 100% sure. The second is an Ephestia which you should really get checked, but I hear Peter's groans already because in his experience they always turn out to be unicolorella! The third looks to me like Grapholita funebrana.

  2. Thank you. The Ephestia has unfortunately (although it saves the groans) long gone. In the same catch I did have another that was much more clearly marked and looked identical to the E. unicolorella illustrated in the field guide.
