My first season’s mothing (Skinner trap) is proving most challenging. I have (with some help) managed to identify the majority of captures, but this selection is still a puzzle.

Help will be much appreciated.

Jack, why don't you go to the Gardenmoths yahoo group, run by Dave Grundy, and ask to join up.... I have, and get a very swift and accurate response from site members. Interesting subjects crop up.

Thanks for the idea. I'll have a look but for reasons that I have never understood, I have never managed to get into any yahoo groups. There seem to be so many hoops to jump through that I have always given up in despair.

C: Myelois circumvoluta
D: Abrostola triplasia/tripartita - I'd prefer former, but the overall tone could lead to a mistake
H: Ochropleura plecta
K: Apamea unanimis?
