Can someone help identify these...

[Devna Arora]

Hi,

We're doing some moth surveys in Perthshire (Scotland). I've only just been introduced to moths and often am a bit confused identifying them. These are the ones I couldn't get from the trap set out on the night of July the 3rd. I hope someone can help out with these, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers,

Devna.

My guesses:

1 Green Carpet - heavily worn, but distinct black triangles on leading edge obvious.
2 Noctuid sp.
3 My first thought was Iron Prominent but the physiology isn't right
4 Chilo phragmitella - looks right
5 Noctuid sp.

Cheers,

Adam
