I've not been able to ID the Tortrix, all the ones that look like it I've seen are due out later in the year.

ID & some familiar faces
Some firsts for the year here. What I assume is a Nutmeg (no shoulder mark) - I also got the first Rustic Shoulder-knot, a Willow Beauty(?), Light Brocade, Common Carpet and Common Swift.
