Lesser-spotted Pinion and 2 micros

 Appalling photos I'm afraid, not getting on well with the new camera. I think, tucked away in a dark corner I have a Lesser-spotted Pinion. I was unable to get it out without it flying off but I've lightened the photo and it looks like it to me.
Then I think I have the first Agriphila tristella of the season.
The third/fourth one I don't know, it looks worn perhaps? If it's potentially interesting I still have it.

  1. Hi Mark,

    Yes, that's Lesser-spotted Pinion which seems to have had a bit of a resurgence over the past few years. The "bullseye" in the centre of the wing is a good indicator. I agree with tristella and the other one looks like an Ephestia species (probably woodiella but really needs dissection to confirm).

  2. thanks Dave. I'll send in the Ephestia to Peter.
