Green pug? (1 Viewer)

I assume that the attached is a green pug?
Rather a disappointing catch last night, despite the cloud cover. Most of them were ones I've had previously such as: common emerald, buff arches (attached), the flame (attached), minor sp. etc. But there were a couple of micros (which I'm hopeless on) in case anyone's interested.

Yes obviously a green cloured pug, that is actually a V Pug!. The resting shapes gives this one away. This'll be a 2nd brrod one.
#2 Tortrix, ID should be possible from photo, but I'm not going into it for now,.
#3 had 2 tortrix moths, the left is Pseudargyrotoza conwagana and the other Variegated Golden Tortrix Archips xylosteana http://www.habitas.org.uk/dragonflyireland/index.html

To add to what Angus posted, albeit that the colour cast and angle make it difficult, my strongly caveated id of the remaining tort would be Ditula angustiorana.

Thanks, Angus, that's a helpful tip about the resting shape. I think that Slater is actually more help than Waring and T on this occasion. The fact that the abdomen is out of focus doesn't help!

...and the black 'V' shape on the wing isn't a bad pointer, either!... ;)
