1) A micro; photo taken in my garden, Norfolk, 17th July 2010.
2) Is this Pyrausta purpuralis? It seems that telling these from P. aurata isn't always straight forward. Blickling, Norfolk, 1st August 2010.
3) This must be a Vapourer caterpillar I think, although two of the 'brushes' are dark coloured. West Sussex, 9th August 2010.
4) I took this photo at Ranmore Common, Surrey, on 11th April 2011. I couldn't nail it down at the time but using the new micro guide I'm hoping it's Pancalia leuwenhoekella. Could anyone please confirm this?
5) A little black and white micro that I found on the outside of a window one evening. Norfolk, 20th April 2011.
Thanks for looking, Thomas
