Hmmm, that's a tough one! Looks most like the 1st one- the arrangement of markings is a good match, bit it looks darker than the ones I saw (there were lots of them flying in the garden)

Agreed, but 4. is capitata.

The last one is P. auratus.

I don't think so. The back is not quite yellow enough. Besides it would be a new species for GB - I think.

OK. On my laptop screen it looked v e r y yellow, but the inner fasciae are as in silaceata.

Is this a winter moth:

Either that or the Northern Winter Moth. They are rather difficult to tell apart from a picture.

Well, there is only a few places in Northern Ireland that the Northern Winter moth is found and none where I saw this, in Co Down. Thats why I thought it to be a winter moth. Hard to spot on the bark of a yew tree.

This one ought to be easy, but I cannot find a match. Some sort of pyralid species surely?
