Moths for ID

[nutmeg]

Here are a few of the moths that came to my trap in the garden last weekend. I've managed to put names already to most I trapped, but I just don't have the experience to ID these:

1. I think this is a Willow Beauty:


2. Is this also a Willow Beauty? More strongly marked (wing tips bent a bit by egg box):


3. Common Wave?


4. Triple-spotted Clay, Double Square Spot... or what?


5. A wave, but which? I considered Small Dusty Wave.


I have no idea for these three:

6.


7.


8.



Thanks

1. Yeah I reckon Willow due to converging cross-lines on forewing.
2. Same again.
3. Yep, Common Wave.
4. Double Square Spot I reckon.
5. Yeah, Small Dusty Wave.
6. I think a Scoparia sp. probably S.ambigualis.
7. Udea olivalis
8. Second generation Double Striped Pug I think - but not a particularly well marked one.

Thanks Jenny I'm pleased to know I'm not too wide of the mark!

Hi

I think the last one could be a Freyer's Pug

Ah yeah, I took a brief look at the shape and thought Double Striped, but the markings do indeed suggest Freyer's more.

Thanks for the Freyer's Pug suggestion - the patterning certainly seems to fit.

I continue to be baffled by Pugs.
