Hi,

My life isn't long enough to find these!

Any help will enable me to get more sleep and will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks for your help peter.

#1 - I have had Eucosma cana before, but this looks like Gelechiidae with it's prongs on the head. Now I realise that, and if I get time, I might take a look in that family.

#3 - The spots certainly look to be in the correct place although mine looks a little different elsewhere, it seems to fit but I'm not sure unless you are.

#4 - yes that fits well! I remember looking at that, for some reason I didn't see it.

#3 is Brachmia blandella!

I went through all the Gelechiidae on UK Moths, I didn't see anything like #1 or didn't recognise it.

I assume I'm correct that it is Gelechiidae or is there another family with those prongs?

I think #2 is Flax Tortrix Cnephasia asseclana, anyone agree?

Check it out at Hants Moths

Still to find #1
