moth identification

[Steve H]

Could someone help with moth identification of some moths that I tapped last night.

Is this a Flame Shoulder?


Secondly is this a Lunar Yellow Underwing? going by the two black marks on each wing ?


Any ideas on this last one?

1 = Flame Shoulder
2 = Large or Lunar Yellow Underwing. Bit early for Lunar though
3 = Small Ranunculus?

Cheers,

Adam

Thanks Adam,
I now have the concise guide to moths and going by the illustrations I thought Lunar as the markings are so clear and also the black "ticks" go all the way to the side of the wing?

i'd agree with Flame shoulder and Large yellow underwing, but number 3 looks more like varied coronet.

Any more comfirmations on those two above?
The last one so far is a choice between two suggestions..there was two of them in my trap thismaorning.
One more shot from above of the underwing if that helps (Large or Lunar).
