Last one @mothiduk.bsky.social you'll be glad to know. Both pics of of same moth, different angles. Wonder if it's Scrobipalpa ocelantella? Cheers

And another four please @mothiduk.bsky.social Suspect 2 is too faded

And another four @mothiduk.bsky.social Hoping 2 and 3 are more than a Lesser Yellow Underwing. Is 4 a Small Blood-vein?

Next four @mothiduk.bsky.social I'm guessing 3 and 4 are the same, maybe 1 as well.

Next four @mothiduk.bsky.social The fourth moth is a terrible photo, sorry, but only one as it flew
