A few more micro checks sought

I'd welcome any confirmation/correction of my labels for these recent visitors to my Robinson trap in Sonning.......

 Hedya nubiferana?

 Nematopogon swammerdamella?

Nemophora degeerella?

Rhyacionia pinivorana?

Teleiodes luculella?

Tortrix spp?

  1. Hi Alastair,

    Yes to Hedya nubiferana, Nemophora degeerella, Rhyacionia pinivorana & Teleiodes luculella. To me the Nematopogon doesn't look long enough in the wing to be swammerdamella so I think it is one of the other two, probably metaxella, but it is difficult to tell without having the moth in your hand. The final one appears to be a worn or poorly-marked Cnephasia.
