Fuerteventura Moths
Fuerteventura Moths
Does anyone have any idea what these moths from Fuerteventura are? Jim
Re: Fuerteventura Moths
They all look vaguely familiar and if not found in the UK are probably closely related to ones that are, so with a rather large caveat of "this is what I would plump for if they were photographed in the UK": The first one looks like a Pale Shoulder Acontia lucida, the second looks to be a member of either Cucillia or Shargacucillia genera, and the third one of the many and varied Geomatrid Carpet moths. The last one looks like a Moth Fly though, which is a true fly but with hairy wings giving it a moth-like appearance.
I'm sure others would be able to have a more educated stab

Hello Jim ,
Totally agree with the first two moths ,but for me the third is a Pug species ,and not a carpet ,very similar (although not quite !) to Double Striped Pug ,the last picture ……………...no idea ! never seen anything quite like that. Regards Allan.W.
