Last night i tried out trapping for the first time. Not to many moths but these were in the trap in the morning. My pictures are not great but maybe someone could help identify them please.

Is this a hard and dart?

I think this is a v pug.

maybe a dark brocade?

Is this one a buff ermin

I dont know what this one is but its a lovely little thing.

I would say Leigh was correct in 3 being a V Pug.

[Adam Cheeseman]

My apologies. 3 is indeed a V-Pug

I had another go with the trap last night but as rain was forcast for the morning i only left it out for a short time.(10.30 till 12.00)

I caught six moths of five species. I would like help to id them please.


Is this a small blood-vein?

Im thinking square spotted clay..


there were two of these, about half the size of the one above.

Any ideas?
Thanks

1 Small Blood-vein
2 Rush Veneer
3 A very worn Crambid
4 Square-spotted Clay I think
5 Chrysoteuchia culmella

Cheers,

Adam

I agree with #1 Small Blood Vein, but not sure about #4 being Square-spotted Clay as it doesn't seem to fit Townsend and Waring's description.

I should add, however, that I'm still trying to get to grips with moths and could well be mistaken .

I think #4 is Double Square-spot.
