Two micros.
You all know how dodgy my micro ID skills are, so I would appreciate help with today's two day-flyers.
Once again, many thanks Sam. I didn't consider Celypha lacunana as the illustration in Sterling, Parsons and Lewington is nothing like the moth shown above. When you pointed me in the right direction, however, I checked UK Moths and found that their photos are a very good match. So problem solved.
The conwagana is correct but the pale bar across the central dark band of the other one indicates lacunana.
