  1. Wow Ian, Scallop Shell, very nice indeed.

    Hope you don't mind corrections/help

    White spot is a Clay
    ??? #1 is a Phlyctaenia perlucidalis (a rare moth which is turning up everywhere this year)
    ??? #2 looks like an unusual Calamotropha paludella
    Yes that is Large Twin-spot Carpet

    The last one is the ever variable Oak Nycteoline

  2. Thanks for all your help with these Ben, I actually thought the Wainscot was Striped but it looks good for Southern and 'White Spot' should have read 'White Point' but on reflection Clay is right.
