Hi Julia,

The two macros are Macro B, Square-spot Rustic and Bottom, Flounced Rustic.
Sorry I can't help with the micros.

Regards
Greg

Hiya Julia,

Agree 100% with Greg on the macros. The second micro, the pale one, looks like a very worn Blastobasis adustella, but it's certainly seen better days. The first one looks good for a Ypsolopha species - but which? I favour Ypsolopha alpella, but that's a bit rarer than some of the others. If it was mine I'd be hoping I had a shot from the other side as well, as invariably the far side of the micro is better for ID confirmation that the near ( :D ). As ever, other opinions welcome!

Cheers, Julian
