Over 30 species last night plus a daytime catch.
Longhorn found flying in garden. Is it swammerdamella? 8mm slight reticulated pattern antennae at least twice body length.
Micros in trap
Agonopterix propinguella ?
Eulia ministrana?
Cydia fagiglandana?
Any help much appreciated Bob & Helen

Re: micros for ID confirmation please
I find the size bar in Manley very useful for separating the two common Nematopogon species. They are difficult to split from photos but looking at your background, the wing length looks to me more like 10mm. In which case I would agree with Nematopogon swammerdamella.
I'll pass on the Agonopterix but your other two are correct.

Steve
