Uncertain Macro IDs London
Caught last night (5 August) in suburban garden. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you! My ideas so far:
1) Very worn but could be Pale Mottled Willow? Could be a dissection candidate if no identity can be placed on it due to heavy wear... 2) A yellow underwing species (as shown when active) but again extremely worn! 2111 Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing Noctua janthe? 3) New moth for me as never trapped before in garden. Having looked through the books, it looks like a shuttle-shaped Dart to me. Is this correct? Also I see that this species is sexually diamorphic (Moths UK). Male or Female? |

I agree with 3 as Shuttle-shaped Dart.
The others are, as you say, very faded. Andy M. |

Two is definitely LBBYU, and I would suggest a Clay for number one, but its in an awful state!

I would say Clay. As far as I am aware, the black band on the underside of the abdomen is only present on males and not present on females. (In addition, I believe that it may be present on White-point.)
All the best
