Good call on the Micro (Ringed China-mark). I'd missed that in Goater, I'm afraid. Careless!!Straw Dot is correct, too - it's just a b. awful photo (from miles away) but also appears much more orange, whereas the ones I get here are all very pale yellow, and also the 'blurring' on the mark made it seem longer than it probably is. What threw me with the Scarce Bordered Straw - which is obviously a very fresh specimen - was the nature of the outer edge orange/yellow line, which I haven't seen so vibrant in this species, if at all (see Waring's right-hand picture on p 333. I get quite a few of these, though this is the first this year. I'd looked at Delicate, too, Ken (a species I don't know). The other micro could well be a Bee Moth - about the right size. Another distance shot....No-one going to have a shot at the Geometer in #2 ??? Some sort of Beauty, maybe? Thanks again.David</blockquote>
