Moth ID

Post by JLS »

I have some moth photos from the summer that I have not been able to identify. All are from my moth trap in south Lincolnshire. I would very much appreciate any help in identifying them.

Hi JLS, I think these are:

1) Pass
2) Pass
3) Pass
4) Flounced Rustic: http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=167
5) Possible Common Rustic (its very variable, I have found 6 different looking specimins this year) http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=1310
6) One looks like the Brick, other (Another rustic?) http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=220
7) A form of Marbled Beauty. Looks very like this one: http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=4179

Hope some of that might help
Cheers all,

Hi Dave,

Thanks very much for your reply and suggestions. With the My book doesnt show any orange in the the Marbled Beauty but I can now see that is what it is.

Thanks John
