micros and a pug

A better night with over 200 moths of 64 species so far with quite a few micros still to be identified.

I have selected a few here that I think should be identifiable from photos.






I think number 3 may just be Scoparia ambigualis,
Number 5 possibly Notocelia trimaculana.
Number 6 looks a bit like Celypha rufana but this seems extremely unlikely!
1 and 2 7.5mm in length.
3 10mm
4 Pug 21 mm wing span
5 9mm
6 8mm

    Afternoon,
    The first one is a bit dark and grainy and it looks like a view through a tube, but probably Zeiraphera isertana.
    Next looks like Rhyacionia pinivorana
    Eudonia lacustrata
    Keep the Pug for me
    Notocelia trimaculana
    Final one I'm not sure, maybe Bactra furfurana, but keep it.

    Many thanks. I'll have a batch ready to send in the next few days.

    Isn't the last one Dichrorampha acuminatana? Looks to have the grey outer edge on the cilia.

    Certainly looks a possibility. The moth was put in the post to Peter this afternoon.
