Hi.

Help needed with 3 Tortrix for identification or correction.

1. Endothenia quadrimaculana 1104
2. Alceris aspersana 1043
3. ?

Really don't have any idea about 3. I've looked through a couple of online sites and am unable to match it with anything.

Very grateful for any help.

Image 3 could be Acleris forsskaleana.

Agree with quadrimaculana & forsskaleana, & #2 is Epiphyas postvittana i think.

I concur with Rob on image 2 as Epiphyas postvittana

I thought #2 was good for aspersana and we are bang on the peak time for them.

Hi Brian, thanks for that. I get so used to seeing postvittana in my trap that i dont even tend to look at them properly & to be honest wasnt even aware of aspersana. I probably let a load of them go the other day. Shame on me. As they say a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing !

Thanks to all for the help, much appreciated.

I had considered Acleris forsskaleana for number 3 but it was more heavily marked than some of the examples online, it did mention the markings were variable though.

Thanks again.

3. is Acleris rhombana. Look at the wing tips!
