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....

Cheers

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.

Greg

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.

Regards
Steve
