hello all
thanks for lookin in and in advance, for any help with some i.d.
all these moths caught over the past couple of nights.

1

2 a tortrix, light brown apple moth but didnt seem brown enough?

next three are macros, and i keep coming back to rustic?, though dates seem to be incorrect (possibly different due to the hot weather i suppose)

Hi Graham - the first is Agonopterix arenella (micro)

Agree with Agonopterix arenella for the first. The tortrix is a light brown apple moth who can vary a great deal in color and patternation but always have the V shape. And the last three are all Vine's rustic(one that Ive still never managed to catch)

Hi Graham,

I would say the first is Agonopterix arenella as Jenny has quoted.

However, I believe the second micro is actually Syndemis musculana (an equally variable moth).

Your three macros are Vine's Rustic.
