Hi,
2 more moths to identify.
Trapped at Wirral Country Park recently.
This one had me guessing too...
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Re: more tricky moths
The upper moth is a Crescent, it looks a bit large for any of the Ear moths.
The lower moth is Orthopygia glaucinalis a Pyralid moth, so not one that features in the macro-moth guides, such as those by Paul Waring and the ever faithful Skinner. A good book that includes several macro-moths is Chris Manley's Photographic Guide to Butterflies and Moths.

Re: more tricky moths
I would go for either Large or Saltern Ear, which needs dissecting to be certain.
