Another couple of queries




I think the top one, from mid-October is a very dark Lunar Underwing, but the wingtip shape looks more like Beaded Chestnut - and it's SO DARK!

The second looks like an Acleris or Pandemis to me, but no species in the book looks quite right. Is it one of the very variable ones?

And No3 is so featureless, I'm not sure at all - is it just a very plain Chestnut?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

David

    Hi David,
    The two macros are once again the highly variable Beaded Chestnut, while the micro in between is a female Archips podana.
