ID Help Please:

Pug - small wingspan - number 1 ?

I would be grateful for help with IDs of these please ...... I spent about an hour showing the various moths to the children in one of the schools I teach at and it was great to be able to show them a real variety of moths in all shapes and sizes including and Elephant Hawkmoth and a Snout !

Hi Julia,

The small Pug is a Double Striped Pug, No 4 is a Common Rustic agg, No. 3 Looks like a Caddis fly and your last one could be a worn Annulet.

Is #4 not a Green Arches holding its wings in an uncharacteristically spread-out position ?

Cheers,
Paul

Sorry my mistake, Paul is correct, No.4 Is a Green Arches.

Hi Folks,

I'm finding it difficult to assess the size of number 2 from the photo - how big is the pot or what is the blue grid line spacing ?

If it is a small pot then Dentated Pug might come into play .....

Cheers,
Steve

No 2 could be Brown Scallop ?
