diamond backed moth
white shouldered house moth

possibly faded, small fan footed wave (not 100%)

Re: Moth ID help from 2007 and 2008
Thanks for help on ones you tried to ID. The one you said is white shouldered house moth has similar marking as one, but when I see these ones (like on in photo) they are always that long thin shape and about a bit bigger and similar shape as the diamond back moth, not like white shouldered house moths I know of and the tail of that moth is not like white shouldered house moth as far as I know.
Cheers all,

Re: Moth ID help from 2007 and 2008
Here's my opinion:
1: agree
2: Gelechiidae
3: agree
4: agree that it is NOT the White Shouldered...
5: ???
6: probably agree
7: Stenoptilia sp. ?
8: agree
I would not try to mess with number two even if it were in pristine condition.
Number four is indeed something else, but I can't recall the family, let alone Genus.
Next!

Hi JKT, that number 2 I thought was a piece of wood that was laying about, but it was not that big of a moth, about a few cm at most. I agree now that 1 is square spot rustic and 3 is diamondback and looking at another faded green carpet image I had from another time, I agree that's one too. I am thinking 6 is small fan footed wave at looking at more photos.

Hi Dave
Have you thought about one of the Beauties for #5 poss (Mottled)

Re: Moth ID help from 2007 and 2008
A wild guess at #7 would be in the Pterophoridae (Stenoptilia pterodactyla).
Re: Moth ID help from 2007 and 2008
I would have quessed that the length might be around 1 cm making the span under 2 cm. I just meant that Gelechiidae as a group are way beyond my capabilities to ID.Dave McCormick wrote:Hi JKT, that number 2 I thought was a piece of wood that was laying about, but it was not that big of a moth, about a few cm at most.

2. Agonopterix arenella,
4. Blastobasis adustella.
