Some trap moth ID help (1 Viewer)

Overread

Hunting birds with a canon
Got some moths from the trap that I'd like some confirmation on the ID of. I'm pretty sure about the swallow prominent, the others less sure as there might be others I've mistaken them for.


1 Swallow Prominent (Pheosia tremula)

2 Marbled Brown (Drymonia dodonaea)

3,4 Apotomis or Hedya - micro moth. I'm aware these can be notoriously difficult to ID.

5 Marbled minor (Oligia strigilis)

I would say that 3 and 4 are Hedya pruniana (aka Plum Tortrix). 5 looks like Marbled Minor agg. Image 2 is rather pixelated on my device, but it doesn’t appear to be Marbled Brown - others might have a better opinion.
