A Footman and a Tortrix

 I found a very small Footman in the trap, only about 15 mm long. It was a uniform yellowy colour and quite worn, with a hint of orange around the head. However the first two thirds of the forewing  was very straight before curving inwards. The small size, general colour and straight leading edge made me think it was an Orange Footman.

Further identification tips are appreciated.

I also found a rather nondescript Tortrix, and with the help of the Obsidentify app came to the conclusion that it was in fact Dichrorampha acuminatana.

I've had this before but it's not on the template!
