And another new Tortrix
And a largish Crambid.
Finally I found two micros that may be of the same species, about the sze of a small tortrix, with a flat profile and creases in the wing corners. Any ideas?

Micros and a tiny Macro
There was nothing spectacular in last night's trap which appeared to be affected by slightly breezy conditions. However I did find one new noctuid - I believe this is Small Wainscot, despite holding its wings in a tented posture.
The rest of the new finds were Micros
Handsome Agapeta hamana.
And another new Tortrix
There were two Cydia splendana.
And a largish Crambid.
I believe this is Scoparia subfusca.

Those Torts both look like worn Rhopobota naevana, with typical square-ended wings because of a fold.
ReplyDeleteInvaluable help Sam, that makes complete sense now. Should have photographed them sideways.
