New additions since last time are
Tuesday 16th July
Willow Beauty
Single Dotted Wave
Toadflax Pug
Small Rivulet
and this, which I think may be Smoky Wainscot?
Friday 19th July
Dwarf Cream Wave
Large Yellow Underwing
White Satin
Poplar Grey
Orthopygia glaucinalis
and then a host of unidentified moths which i require help with.
Crambus pratella?
Ermine sp?
Couple of micros....
any help would be appreciated.... I promise i'll get my micro book soon :)
I would suggest you ermine is most likely a Bird Cherry Ermine, but this group are very tricky.
ReplyDeleteYour first macro for ID looks very like a Light Arches to me and your other macro could be a Cabbage Moth.
Your penultimate micro looks like a good contender for Acleris forsskaleana.
Hopefully someone else will be along soon to help with the rest etc :-)
....and I think your 'Smoky Wainscot' may actually be a Small Dotted Buff (difficult to be certain from the image but it appears to show a couple of rows of dots indicative of that species IMHO)
ReplyDeletecheers Tristan. yep I did think that for cabbage but wasn't sure as its quite faded. I guess that could be light arches, again it seems quite faded.
ReplyDeletethe SDB/wainscot is a tricky one. I wish i'd taken some sort of measurement but was in a rush and it flew off shortly after getting photographed, I think it was a bit big for SDB though and the vertical streak on the wing seems like it should tell us something! guess they'll stick in the maybe pile for now! I've had another since so hopefully i'll get one tonight and i'll have a proper look.
