4 Moths help

[Dave McCormick]

I caught these last week and need a help on id's. I just got the revised version of field guide to Moths of gret Britian which and Ireland, IMO is a very good moth book for macro's, but I could not find these, but colour drawings are different than actual images so can anyone here help?

First One:


Moth two:


Moth Three:


Moth Four (Two moths):

Hi Dave. My moth identification skills are rather rusty. I haven't run a light trap for so long, but I'm fairly confident about three of your moths.
1. Uncertain (the moth, not me.)
2. Common Rustic
3. Double Lobed
4. Large Yellow-underwing, but I'm unsure about the other one. The markings are rather vague and I think the photo is slightly unsharp. Do you have another pic.?

Thanks Misha for the id's. I dobn't actually have a better image for that grey moth, btu I am nearly sure it had a green tinge in the wings that could be seen from a certian angle. Thinking it might be Brindled Green but not sure and it flies in August, not July. I have a last few images I need Id'd

Moth 1:


Moth 2:


Moth 3: (Think on is Common Footman and not scarce footman based on how its wings are not tightly together like in scarce footman)


Moth 4:


Moth 5 (Pug Moth?):


Moth 6: (Is this the Uncertian?)

1 & 4: Idaea aversata.
2: I'm pretty sure this is not found in Finland, so I leave that to others.
3: E. lurideolum indeed. The other one gets the same comment as the last (6).
5: Pasiphila sp.
6: rather Hoplodrina ambigua or H. blanda.

The gray moth in the first series COULD BE very worn Apamea remissa.
I thought it is impossible to tell M. secalis apart from M. didyma based on picture.

Hi,

I reckon moth 2 is a Dark Arches:
