[ID] Moths & Plant Bugs!

[Jason Green]

Hi WAB'ers,

Four for ID please, thankyou.


1. Plant bugs
I assume the green one may be a juvenile?


2. Moths
Both found in a domestic setting. I think the second could be missing a few scales... is it the Lesser Yellow underwing?

Take care,

Jason

I think the second moth is a Pale Mottled Willow, I'm sure I've come across the first one as well, it's quite a distinctive micro, but I'm afraid I can't remember the name!

Hi Jason, I think Moth 1. could be a worn Meal Moth - Pyralis farinalis.

Hi, thanks for the moth IDS, much appreciated! The meal moth: I don't live near any farms, so perhaps an unusual find in a house!

Hi Jason, I've taken the Meal moth regularly in my trap for some years now.

I think it can be found anywhere that cereal/grain can be found. So rabbit hutches, chickens, horses etc. pretty much anywhere really!

OK, thanks NG

Hi Jason, your bugs are Dicyphus the adult looks like (Miridae) Dicyphus epilobii


Cheers

Great, thanks for that. I believe they were both on Herb Robert.
