Having gone through all the possibilites, I think this must be Caryocolum fraternella? Two turned up a couple of nights ago.
And this I think is a rather worn Pyrausta despicata, but not a moth I've seen before.

Hello Phil,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had another good moth with that Caryocolum! It does indeed look good for fraternella but it would be handy to get one checked by Peter. I know of 16 other records for Bucks but most are from the southern half of the county, the most northerly until now being from the access road to the Greatmoor incinerator when it was still a railway line back in 2011. I agree that the other is Pyrausta despicata.
Thanks Dave, I will get one checked as you suggest. Maybe I will get a Caryocolum hat-trick tonight!
