Few micros for confirmation Herts UK (1 Viewer)

Had a stab at these: my thinking is:

Photo 1: worn Phtheochroa rugosana
Photo 2: Agriphila tristella
Photo 3: Strophedra weirana
Photo 4: Acrobasis adustella

Apart from photo 1 all are NFM's so please do point me in the correct direction.
Many thanks for your endeavours, my brain just ceased!!
Cheers,
Jono

I'll pass on no 3 but I agree with the others.

Thanks, David. Don't think I'll manage a definite on #3.

Remember, its Blastobasis adustella, rather than Acrobasis.

Is 3 a Caddis Fly?

Hi Sean,
Thought Caddis, but it is tiny, smallest caddis I've come across. Thanks for spotting my error. Had over 50 new micros in the last few weeks, my first year of really trying to id each one, so head is full of names, fequently assigned to the wrong moth.
Cheers,
Jono
