three moths for ID please

[smokeyjofencing]

Hi I live in Essex and am new to identifying wildlife.

Can anyone tell me what these three are?

They are all from the night time.

Not great shots, but I will get better, as I am new to all this.

The third is Udea olivalis I believe. Can't enlarge the pics for some reason.

Cheers,

Hi Jo,

The 1st one is most likely to be a Common Pug. Certainly anything that I catch that looks like that or thereabout tends to be called that, although I will defer to anyone who is more detailed in their pug assessments!

Don't think I can do anything with 2nd though I am afraid.

If you have not seen it before UKMoths | Guide to the moths of Great Britain and Ireland is a good site to check some of these suggestions against.

Hi guys,

Thanks for that. This certainly helps me in future identification of these beautiful little creatures.
