The first looks rather like Pexicopia malvella (Hollyhock Seed Moth) - do you or any of your neighbours grow Hollyhocks? Not sure about the next one (might be a Cnephasia), while the bottom two show Phycita roborella.
Knowing that, I'm happier that it is indeed Pexicopia malvella! It is not all that common in Bucks but I have had it on the Holtspur Bottom nature reserve which is only just down the road from you.
Hi Dave,

Hi Dave
ReplyDeleteOne of my neighbours has hollyhocks and there are Marsh-mallows in a field across the road. Many thanks, as always, for your efforts.
