Help would be much appreciated on these doubtless commonplace micros. I have much to learn about them (and about how to photograph them).
Thanks
Clive
Two from my Christleton garden:
1.
- Query Agriphila tristella
2.
- Query Epinotia ramella
and two from Aberduna
A.
- Query Udea lutealis
B.
- Query Udea prunalis

Hi Clive
All four ID's are correct. Three are common and widespread in Cheshire, Epinotia ramella is much more local in your area, as its food plant, birch, tends to be rarer over your way, so a good find if from your garden.
Regards
Steve

Many thanks - there are a couple of birches just beyond the garden fence, so that probably accounts for the E ramella.
Cheers
