Micros for identification if possible

Post by bobhelencoan »

16th June a large number of moths with the inevitable few that have foxed us. Is there any chance at all if identify the 4 micros? They seem to have some markings but we can't fathom out what they are. Help much appreciated. There are two photos of three of the moths. Squares are 5mm for size estimation. Bob & Helen

Steve , Thanks again for confirming the ID of the macro moths and also identifying 3 of the micros . We would never have guessed the Glyphipterix thrasonella. Obviously it is the plain version but even so there is no evidence of any markings on our specimen. Another new moth for us. Bob & Helen
