Some UK micro and macro moths (1 Viewer)

[138mph]

Hi again,
A selection of recent images of moths for identification.
One image set has locations and dates, plus a tag to associate with any id offered.
The second set were all taken July 21 in Luton, Bedfordshire with two images per moth.

I have done a scan of UKmoths without coming up with a positive id for any of them, but have a rough idea about two or three.

Thanks in advance for all assistance,
Hugh

Why not post what you think they are and we can go from there? All of these (bar one in the top row of the first set, which is a caddis fly) will be on ukmoths. There are six micros in the first set, the others will be in the Waring field guide.

Well, I have done another pass of UK moths and the book for the macros and am still none the wiser. I am hoping that if somebody can identify them, then I will be able to work out why I am not picking them out.

Just to start you off.
Snout & Riband wave in first batch.
Nut-tree Tussock and a Wainscot which could be either Smoky or Common in the second batch.

Thanks for that.
I see why I should have got the Snout, I had ruled out the Wainscots as I erroneously thought that they wouldn't be found locally. I have also found images of Nut-tree tussock that are like mine, but I wouldn't have got it from the ukmoths image.

E2 Green oak tortrix Tortrix viridana?

C1 wasn't really green, it was grey.

B1 is Chrysoteuchia culmella
And the first in the second set is Straw underwing.

A1 belongs to Carpatolechia, C1 to Cnephasiini, D1 to Scopariinae, F1 to Lyonetiidae.
E2 Aphelia paleana.

B2 is a Riband Wave. I know because I found 9 of them in my trap last night.

The one on the right on the second batch is a worn Common Wainscott Mythimna pallens with a bald patch on its crest.

I think it could be Smoky Wainscot and I'd be checking hindwings for confirmation.

First one of the second set looks like it is a Straw Underwing.
