    Cydia sp

    I thought this might be Cydia fagiglandana rather than the more regular (in the Cambridgeshire Fens at least) C. splendana. Any thoughts? Thanks Ian

    Yet more micros, Cambs

    Two tricky ones I haven't been able to put any money on: A - closest match I can come up with is Ptocheuusa paupella which would be unlikely over here I think. So I assume that I am overlooking something more common (maybe an Elachista sp.?) B - A tiny tortrix - Epinotia nanana? Cheers!

    Tortrix sp

    Is this Epinotia rubiginosana? I considered Claivigesta purdeyi (which I've recorded before) and the white markings down to the costa look too strong for that species? Thanks in advance!

    More micros, Cambs

    Mompha

    Three that I've not been close to putting a name to: 1. 17th May, Epinotia sp.? 2a&b. 11th June, no real clue, possibly an unidentifiable Coleophora? 3. 18th June, no idea Thanks in advance

    Macro and 3 micros to ID

    A few to have a go at please: Macro 1a and 1b - same noctuid. I've tried turning this into several scarce species but keeping coming back to Cabbage Moth. Which I'm hoping its not of course! Micro 1 - tortrix sp. I'm fining these grey/black/white ones pretty tricky. This might be yet another...

    Micros for ID

    A mixed bag of things I'm struggling with. All caught in Cambridgeshire over the last couple of weeks..any help / pointers gratefully received. Standard advance apologies for the quality of photography involved applies here...
