Second Micro For ID Help:
The second of the two micros which I am struggling with, from Merseyside, both caught in the garden. I feel I should recognise them but, so far, am having no success with their IDs. This second one, caught on the 15/07/2018, is shown in the photo below:

Re: Second Micro For ID Help
Many thanks Steve; that looks to be spot-on (Zeiraphera ratzeburgiana).
Another new species for me despite it supposedly being 'Common'. Perhaps I don't work conifer plantatios enough any more, probably not at all these days in truth.
There are conifers in the gardens to the rear of the property although whether any are Spruce I honestly cannot say. However, I read that it will exist on other conifer species too.
Thanks once again for your help.
Cheers,
Steve
