Would anyone like to comment on these 5 guys. I have some thoughts but would welcome confirmation or correction.
1. Could this be Small White Wave?
2. This appears similar to Eudonia lineola but is it a different type? c10mm
3 & 4 Are these colour variations of Light Brown Apple Moth?
5 No idea. Quite small c10mm
location is Bouremouth.
thanks

Thanks Adam.
Checked out UK moths for Eudonia = no2 might be Eudonia angustea but would appreciate confirmation.
UK Moths also state the Eudonia pallida (no5) flies in June but Hampshire moths indicate that a second brood flies August-September - least thats how i read their info. It certainly looks like E.p.
thanks for your help
