Rustic and Uncertain

[BROCSMAN]

The title is a description of how I feel about this lot. I hate noctuids. Any help in IDing them would be very gratefully received. (I've thrown in a micro for added interest!).

I can't help with IDs (most look like Uncertain to me), but I've numbered your photos - it helps a lot if you post a large number of photos for ID.

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember it next time I develop a backlog like this!

Hi there, You have asked a tricky question, I think most people battle away with the problem of is it a Rustic /Uncertain? I think most of these look like Uncertains, but can't be sure, as some of them are showing signs of wear.

The micro is also worn, I thinks it's either Dipleurina lacustrata or Eudonia mercurella.

Hi Adam

Thanks for your input. I suppose I should take consolation from the fact that they are correctly named, so I'm obviously not alone!
