A busier night last night with 13 moths caught but as usual it has thrown up some queries for me.
The first one would appear to be a moth that fly's in July. Surely I am wrong but is No. 1 Possibly a 288 Caloptilia stigmatella
Are No's 2 & 3 Agonopterix heracliana
Lastly No.4. Is it a worn Double-striped Pug?

Thanks David
I have just checked on Mike Walls site and indeed it does show up as 30-50% of peak abundance in March / April.

Both these moths flew straight after these shots so I didn't have a chance of better images.
It's probably doubtful that an ID will be found on them but I live in hope. The second one was minute.
I am trying to report everything I find on the Warwickshire Moths site so a complete daily list would be great and these are the only two I am struggling with from last night.

Thanks David
I must admit it does look like that moth.
Does anyone else agree.
Any ideas on the other one David, or anyone else?

There is one moth that has caught me out from last night. It is a Plume Moth. Any ideas.
I have narrowed it down to a possible Stenoptilia bipunctidactyla plus I was considering Stenoptilia millieridactyla.
Knowing me this moth will probably be neither.
Any ideas?
