A couple of hundred moths in the trap at the museum last night. Some species were new for the year, including Garden Pebble (Evergestis forficalis), Pandemis cerasana, Diamond-back Moth (Plutella xylostella), Green Pug, Riband Wave, Small Dusty Wave, Purple Bar, Clouded Silver, Bramble Shoot (Notocelia uddmanniana), Lozotaenia fosterana, Green Oak Tortix (Tortix viridana), Snout, Poplar Hawk-moth, Marbled White Spot, Broad-barred White and Buff Ermine.
Also, I'd appreciate some assistance as to the identities of these if possible (for reasons of disorganisation, none have been retained):

5th is Blastobasis lacticolella and the next is a Mottled Rustic. The others I can’t see well enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter!
ReplyDeleteI've lightened the other 4 pics in case it helps.
ReplyDeleteI think the 4th one is Cochylis atricapitana
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin!
DeleteI'm no expert in any way but could number 3 be Gypsonoma Oppressana?
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me. The trap was literally at the base of a poplar tree!
