Message: <blockquote data-quote="black52bird" data-source="post: 1219418" data-attributes="member: 12666">Four Micros for helpDear AllTorrential rain (you've been watching the football?.....like that!!) at one time or another every day makes everything erratic here. Fortunately it was sunny when I went out across the park this morning and saw the first Comma Butterfly of the year. Back home, I also heard and then saw the first Swift (Apus apus - not moth!) over the park - they nest down the road usually, but have been conspicuous for their absence this year. And then in the back garden I had the first ever Hedgehog - in the afternoon rain. The day ended with the Balcony bringing me one new species of moth for the Balcony - a Brown Scallop (which I've seen in Norwich the last 2 summers)  - the only moth of the evening. So I've been going through my few poor species photographed this year (42 so far - I was up to 75 by 11th June last year!!) and wondering whether I could try your patience again with the 4 Micros I've been unable to identify so far. Two of them I've already put up without any conclusion. So here they are plus 2 others which no amount of searching on the various websites has helped. 1 Crambid2 Crambid3 Pyralid (maybe?)4 UnknownI'd be really grateful for even pointers to genus if species is a step too far.Thanks in advanceDavid</blockquote>
