Several moths for ID please (urban & woodland)

[Malkie]

Hi folks,
I have a few moths that I'd like to identify. I do have two of Michael Chinery's books and I've been looking hard in them but no joy at the moment and would appreciate some expert advice!

1. in woodland 2011-06-30_025_unknown - Wild About Britain Pics

2. woodland again Unidentified moths - Wild About Britain Pics

3. woodland also Unidentified moths - Wild About Britain Pics

4. urban (on my recycling bin) Unidentified moths - Wild About Britain Pics

5. urban (on my house) Unidentified moths - Wild About Britain Pics

6. Derbyshire scrubland nature reserve by river Unidentified moths - Wild About Britain Pics

Any assistance much appreciated.

Hi Malc,

1 is something subocellana I think (doing this off the top of my head)
2 Green Oak Tortrix
3 Coleophora sp. one of many similar species
4 A Pyralid of the subfamily Scoparinae
5 Large Tabby - a micro
6 Silver-ground Carpet


Cheers,

Adam

Nope 1 is not subocellana, but it is one of the small Tortrix species.
No. 4 I think is Eudonia delunella

Cheers,

Adam
