Help requested on the 2 micros, please
Which species of Notocelia?
Is the other a Cork Moth Nemapogon cloacella?

2 Hawk-moths from last night

Hi Mike
Notocelia trimaculana. Plenty about right now.
I netted a female Nemapogon at Goostrey on 31st May and having dissected it I still can't decide which species it is, so I wouldn't want to attempt an identification from a photo.
Regards
Steve
