Thorn and others
Is this an August Thorn?
Also while I am asking there is a tortrix from last week I am not sure about and also what is probably an Uncertain/Rustic but doesn't feel quite right.
The bright yellow head/thorax is the giveaway for your Thorn, Andy - it is Canary-shouldered. The micro looks like Lobesia abscisana, while the last is indeed one of the Hoplodrina species. They do vary a bit.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks. I thought Canary-shouldered initially but wondered when I looked at the images in the book.
