Hello Alan,
ReplyDeleteThe first may well be Delplanqueia inscriptella but it needs dissection to separate from dilutella, especially if this is the first time you've had it. Then you have Archips podana, Pammene regiana and what looks to me like a Eucosma from the hohenwartiana group so also needs dissection. I'm not sure how you came to decide that the next one was a Nepticulid (those are miniscule moths!). It is a tortrix and looks good to me for Olindia schumacherana. The Scoparid is a bit too worn to be sure of, while the final one is indeed Elophila nymphaeata.
Brilliant Dave,
ReplyDeleteThanks as always.

Hi Dave,
DeleteI asked my cousin Dave, a former Norfolk County moth recorder, to run his eyes over the tortrix without telling him what you had suggested.
He came back with "Olindia schumacherama"!!
I think the top one is an Ephestia, almost certainly woodiella.
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
