Micro and larva ID help please
I have just returned from a very interesting trip to Scotland visiting upper Tayside and Ardnamurchan. I managed to run a trap on a few nights and found a couple of larva and would appreciate some help with a micro and two larvae please. Pics are linked here. The micro was trapped on a wooded hillside in Glen Lyon and had a forewing of about 8mm. Both larvae were in coastal moorland habitat near Ardnamurchan Point. If I remember rightly the first is about 30mm long and the second perhaps 50mm or more.

Thanks very much. |

Well I'm new at this so hopefully someone more experienced will either confirm or correct me. However to me, the first lava seems to be either of:
Square-spot Rustic (Xestia xanthographa) or Six-striped Rustic (Xestia sexstrigata) The hairy one looks like: Drinker Moth (Euthrix potatoria) No hope of me even guessing the micro :-) Alan |
