hi
thanks for looking in and any help you may be able to offer...thanks in advance...
ive enclosed a few ermines here...is there any sure fire way of saying that a bird cherry ermine is a bird cherry ermine rather than a spindle ermine...i know some of the colours can differ on the end of the wings...but from what i can see the bird cherry ermine appears to have lots more spots...is this always the case??...someone assisted with an i.d. for this species some time ago...now im not so sure as i got the manley book and im a bit confused...
...and as for the plume moths....aaargh!!

anyway...if you can help in any way....

graham

and some plumes...

this moth was in the trap...flew to a different perch and posed like this...then flew off before i got anything on it....

this is a scoparia?

dont know this one...

and is this Cydia pomonella?? (not a great picture im afraid)

From what I read the Ermines are mostly microscope job's with a dissection of the genitalia needed.

Moth 4 could be Eudonia mercurella?

The rest I am not good enough to help you with.
