Those which I can be sure of are the first and last, which are Argyresthia pruniella and Minor Shoulder-knot. Of the middle three, I think the first is probably a Double-striped Pug. The second is a rather worn Epermenia species which I suppose must be Epermenia chaerophyllella, although aequidentellus is also known from Bucks (so far with just two records) so I would have kept that one back for dissection. The noctuid I really can't place with any certainty - do you have any more pictures of it?
Hello Jo,

The first noctuid is a Cloaked Minor.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martin.
DeleteThank you Dave! I got as far as Argyresthia,now you've told me which one it's obvious! I'm afraid I don't have any other pictures of the noctuid.
