Micro ID Help Please ?

Micro ID Help Please ?

The first I think might be a worn Holly Tortrix ? It was barely 7mm long.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Hi Martyn,

With hardly any scales left it will be difficult to identify without dissecting.

Regards,
Steve

Thought they were the same moth, from different angles. Both are worn but the first one does resemble Holly Tortrix and the second one could be Blastobasis lacticolella.

Regards,
Steve
