A few more micros for ID

Post by MothNoggin »

Hi All
After a relatively busy moth night on the 16th when I got a Dot Moth Lifer, I was left with this batch of micros for ID...

Hi Nev

No.2 will be a worn Paraswammerdamia nebulella and No.3 will be Bud Moth Spilonota ocellana. Both are common at this time of year. Your others appear to be OK.

Regards
Steve

Thanks Steve
Bud Moth's seem quite variable. I had one I'd identified already in the trap but was the much paler version.
