Hi
Couple of moths in the trap last night; one is possibly November or Winter Moth (or of that ilk...I've read about how to tell some species apart, but I don't have the facility to do that!). The other, is it a Scarce Umber?
(Sorry, the pics both seem a bit dark now they are loaded onto here)
Thanx!   |

Yes your first one looks like it is from that November moth group. I notice some people put them as agg. I have never had any so I cannot comment really.
Second looks good for a Scarce umber. |

Thanx again for your help, metalmoth!
Looks like death and disection is the only way to id the November moths exactly, and that is not a route I am going to take. |

I wouldn't rule out Winter Moth for no.1, although I've yet to catch one myself!
Scarce Umber for no.2 |

Pale November moth for number One...
Scarce umber moth for number two...
I hope....
