    Is this a Confused?

    Had the trap out for the first time in ages last night. This macro is proving difficult to ID. Can anyone help? I have a feeling it could be a Confused, but I'm really not sure.

    I think the third is a March Moth. Unsure about the others. The second might be a micro?

    Common Quaker?

    Caught a couple of these last night, alongside more easily identifiable Common Quakers. My conclusion is they are variations on the same species, but if someone can confirm this I would be most grateful.

    Like Riband Wave, but not ...

    Found this in the garden this afternoon. I thought it would be easy to ID, as it looks superficially similar to a Riband Wave, at least in size and shape. However, I just can't find a match in the field guide. Is it some kind of aberration, or am I being dense again?

    Are these all the same species of moth?

    All trapped last night here in the Midlands. All appear similar, but show different degrees of wear and tear. Are they the same species? I have been unable to ID them.

    Four to ID - Wythall, Birmingham

    A few unidentified and a couple for confirmation. Trapped last night in my garden in the Midlands. Pretty sure number three is a Gold Spot. Number four appears to be a Bulrush Wainscot, but seems a bit early to have trapped one? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    2 Pugs to ID

    I have the second down as Freyer's Pug. I'm trapping quite a few of these. Correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure about the first one, which I spotted near the trap. Picture isn't great, I'm afraid.

    Powdered or Common Quakers?

    The following moths were all trapped in Wythall Birmingham over the last couple of nights. I wondered if the first two might be Powdered Quakers, but I am now leaning towards pale forms of Common Quaker. Any ideas? Also, I'm not sure what the third moth is. A dark Common Quaker, or a Clouded...

    What's this moth?

    Trapped in Wythall, Birmingham last night. I'm new to mothing. At first I thought it might be a dark Common Quaker, but now I'm not so sure. The markings bear some similarities to some of the Drabs, or maybe the Rustics, but I'm struggling to pin down ID. It also looks a bit like a Large...

    RFI - Club-tailed Dragonfly, River Severn, Worcester

    I'm keen to see this species this year and have read that the River Severn in Worcs / Shrops is a good bet. As a birdwatcher, I am often in the Wyre Forest. Does anyone know if the Dowles Brook area offers a good chance of seeing this species? If not, can anyone suggest other areas that might...
