Hi Greg,

yes, I can confirm they are all micros :-)

I think you are OK with atricapitana and ambiguelis but your Philedonoides is I think Symdemis musculana - the last one I'll leave to SteveHH...

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Greg
Cochylis atricapitana and Scoparia ambigualis are correct.
Philedonides lunana is an early heather moorland speciality and probably over now. Yours is Syndemis musculana.
Not a clue on the last one.
Regards
Steve
