More new moths.

Reasonable haul in excess of 30 moths of 27 species this morning. New for year moths were angle shades, uncertain, Stenoptila pterodactyla and Acrobasis advenella. Suspected as new for my parish records: Coleophora albitarsella and Epiblema scutulana.
Photos from the top:
Hedya nubiferana
Acrobasis advenella
Epiblema scutulana Edit: now confirmed identity as Notocelia roborana, a new for year moth
Coleophora albitarsella
Or so I think but likely to be corrected. These are very small moths: 5 - 8 mm.
Note; all photos taken on phone camera, so lacking quality. Shall upload better from the Nikon later.
