Having had a 2nd night using a light trap, and using the advised waring/Townsend field guide I think I have identified half of the species I caught. Would anyone be willing to confirm this or tell me where I have gone wrong.

1. Small magpie
2. Peppered moth
3. Heart and dart
4. Silver-ground carpet
5. Clouded-bordered brindle

3 moths for ID sheffield uk

Following on from my last post, where I have hopefully identified 5 of the moths I caught in my light trap last night, I am struggling with the identity of another 3. Would you be able to help? Moths are a steep learning curve for me.

Your IDs in the first 5 are flawless.

The latest lot:
1. Dark Arches
2. Difficult to ID in that light, but I guess its Marbled Orchard Tortrix Hedya nubiferana
3. Ingrailed Clay
