[Fuchsia]

Hello,
I have been through Leps (twice!) and still cannot find these two. Both were quite small.

Thanks
Jen

Hi Fuchsia,
Your first moth is one of the Tortricoides, there are a lot more species on the Continent than in the U/K and I still haven't got my 2 volumes on Tortrices back from being out on loan, so can't be more help on this one yet.

Your second moth is a Speckled Yellow Pseudopanthera macularia Again this is from a British book but unless there are other similar species in your area its a pretty safe bet that this is it.

Harry Eales.

Oh honestly, I was checking butterflies for the Speckled Yellow!
Thanks again Harry :-)

I think I have had the first one a lot in my garden (near Peterborough UK) and I think it is a female Carnation Tortrix (Cacoecimorpha pronubana).

I agree with Brian. The hindwings are orange and quite obvious in flight.

Many thanks again for the help :-))
