Don't think that last one is Straw Dot - look at the outer wing shape. I suspect it will forever remain a mystery. |
Hi Jim
Giving the SHC a second look I have to agree that these squares must be 4mm but by the same token No 4 looks the same size as the SHC. That would make it just about right for both LBBYU & LYU. With size variations on both moths they could be both within that size catergory. I still favour LYU but wouldn't be suprised if it were your choice.
Now that I have 4mm squares in mind it is obvious that No 5 can no way be a Straw Dot. I was using the 2mm square to size the moth. No 5 is obviously much larger and the only one I can think it might be is a very worn Sallow.
