Pretty good night for me with over 20 species and a few that I have not recorded before and a couple I cannot ID!
Confirmation/help would be appreciated!
Oblique carpet.
Common marbled carpet
Foxglove pug?
Also - water carpet - I had wondered about Devon carpet for a moment!

Isabel- re your last four `problem pics`...the first is least black arches, 2nd looks like a spruce carpet; 3rd looks like a red-barred tortrix Ditula angustiorum, whilst no 4 is a cantharid `soldier beetle`...I`ll det the beetle sometime in the next few days for you - I used to do this group and have a good key. Best to get Sam, George or whoever to confirm some of my quick, provisional dets above, due to my tiredness!
ReplyDeleteI had four actinics running last night (one at home, rest `away`). Have got quite a few moths to go through and to photo, but as I was up before 4.00am, I`m too tired to do them yet. Plenty of FFYs and one or two `goodies`. I will probably blog tomorrow morning.
I agree with Ian on those ids
ReplyDeletePondered Archips xylosteana for the tort but its Ditula
The cantharid beetle looks like Cantharis nigricans according to a key I have.
