Moths from 22/7 and 24/7 part 2:
7. A couple of pugs I haven't been able to put a name to. Pug a:
8. ... and pug b:
9. A very poor picture but it looks quite distinctive so I'm hoping it might be possible to ID this.
10. Udea prunalis?
11. Epinotia immundana?
12. And finally one with an easy ID: the robin got to this Bordered Beauty before I could!
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul
I think your first Pug could be a Narrow-winged and the second a Maple Pug.

Thanks Greg. I like your suggestion of Narrow-winged for the first, I'll go with that. I thought about Maple for the second but the prominent discal spot made me unsure. Though there is a just perceptible zig-zag at the outer bit of the cross-line. Hmm....

Hi Paul,
The Maple Pug I got last year looks a fairly good match to yours.
It also has discal spots that are quite prominent.

Hi Paul
No. 9 could be another of the dark form of Bud Moth Spilonota ocellana.
Agree Udea prunalis
No. 11 Nut Bud Moth Epinotia tenerana. Longer and narrower winged than Epinotia immundana. Also much brighter, although yours is rather worn and lost most of its warm colouring. The fold in the wing is also more obvious on Epinotia tenerana.

Steve
