| | | 2 Tortrix moths for ID please.
These 2 were in the trap last night.
1. Hope this is something other than a Light Brown Apple Moth 
2. Excuse the pic but it was to wizzy to release for a clear shot. 
I've put it in the fridge to try again later.

Pretty sure #1 is indeed a light brown apple moth. Sorry to disappoint 
Any chance of a better photo for #2? |

I think the first is an LBA too i'm afraid. It looks like a slightly darker version of the second pic on UKMoths.
Number 2 looks like Celypha lacunana though from that pic I can't be 100%!

The markings on No.1 were so defined, I was convinced this wasn't a L.B.A Moth. Never mind. 
Better pics for moth No.2. Hope these help!:-

I really don't think it as because it was very grey in colour & the blackl wavy line at the bottom of the wings was very obvious & the fleck marks were yellow.
Thanks anyway.

I'm still going for Celypha lacunana. The photos are a bit dark to see properly but I can see the barring on the costal edge clearly enough to be fairly confident!

This is a Celypha lacunana I trapped a couple of weeks ago & I don't think they match. This is a bit of a mystery moth.

The only other one I can think of is Cydia splendana.
