Struggling with a couple of micros

Reasonably well marked, could the tortrix be one of the variants of Eudemis profundana? I'm unable to come close with other (both from 15th July)!

    Hi Keith,
    I think you'll find that the first is Lobesia abscisana, while the second is Prays fraxinella.
    I can't make up my mind if the latter is a worn version of the normal form or quite a light version of the dark form of fraxinella.

      Thanks for that, Dave. I've had a few abscisana already this year, but somehow didn't put 2 and 2 together for this individual!
