Your first is Ptycholomoides aerifera...Hello John,<br /><br />Your first is Ptycholomoides aeriferana (incorrectly spelt as P.aeriferanus in the micro field guide). The second needs more of a side view to be sure but in mid-August it is most likely to be an Apotomis and from what I can see should be Apotomis turbidana. The Carpet really needs an expert opinion. I would have suggested Spruce but I'm not at all confident with that ID and such a dark specimen may not be do-able even though that's a nice clear picture.Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.com
