A couple of questions

 These two moths were trapped in a small trap in the reed bed on Otmoor last night.

I think the first may be Brachmia blandella? The second looks like an Orange Footman from the wing shape, but it seems rather late for that?

    Hello Linda,
    The first is indeed Brachmia blandella, while the second is the yellow form of Dingy Footman (f. stramineola).

    Thanks Dave, wondered about Dingy, but obviously not for long enough!
