At a guess ide say the first is a snout moth and the second could be a twirler moth but not posative.

The second one is a Phycitodes, perhaps binaevella. Not a clue about the first, how big was it?

Dave,

Could be a Short-cloaked Moth. I've never seen one though so hold on for confirmation or otherwise.

some of the Gelechiidae are called twirler moths - but Hislop's vernacular name list is not helpful really when it comes to remembering names, so most of the UK micros are known by their scientific binomial - which in this day and age makes it much easier for the international discussions that take place over the internet.

cheers, Roger.

Hi Roger, I knew this was a Hislop/Porter invented name but was being deliberately obtuse! So, what's Phycitodes binaevella known as? No, on second thoughts, I don't even care.
