Hi
All caught this morning in a West Scotland trap, 200+ moths, a good one.

Is the first Agriphila straminella, it doesn't appear to have a nose which had me wondering.
And, what are the other 3, are 2 and 4 the same species? I cant match them up to anything in field guide.

Thanks for your help (again).

Dougie

#1 is A.straminella, they often lose their noses!
#2 & 4 are both worn Acrobasis sp, probably advenella/suavella.
#3 looks like one of the Bactras, perhaps lacteana but I think gendet is required to be sure.

Hi David, thanks for that. Although I’ve birded for many years I am new to mothing and assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
