3 moth ids

[Alastair Rae]

Gosh, this moth business is hard. Here are three I photographed in long grass in a local nature park in Islington, London, on 6th June.

Is this a Silver Y? I thought they were migrants like Painted Lady. Isn't it a bit early?


This one is annoying. I thought something this distinctive would be easy to find in the book!


I assume this tiny one is a micro and wouldn't be in my book.

Hi Alistair

I agree with Silver Y for the first,they are about now,I've seen quite a few.
The second is a Burnet Companion.Not sure about the last one though

Third is a Scoparia pyralella moth in the Pyralid family.

Cheers,

Adam

Yep - Silver Y Autographa gamma on the first - I also put a comment on the image too

Thanks all.

Now that I have ids, is there some protocol about relabeling and moving the photos? I can 't find any edit buttons in the Gallery.
