I caught these last night (20/03/2021)
My best guesses are Agonopterix alstromeriana and Caloptilia stigmatella. Please confirm or suggest correct ID.
Thanks, John

Hi John,
Your Agonopterix alstromeriana is actually an Oak Nycteoline, a very variable species. I'll let someone more experienced confirm your micro.
Regards,
Alex

Hi John
Caloptilia stigmatella is correct.
Oak Nycteoline looks like a tortrix with a long snout.

Steve
