Also had a few we could not identify - even after a couple of hours of looking these are ones I am not sure on.
Wainscot but cannot get it down to individual species
Pretty sure it is a carpet - again not sure
No idea!!
No idea 2!!
Most of the group were really happy with the butterfly catching on the Saturday afternoon and a little quite when we started speaking about moths. However when they saw the poplar hawkmoth and some of the underwings fly off then they soon changed and we had a group pouring over the books to try to identify them. Hope we might have some junior moffers out there.

Thanks for the help identifying the last few moths.
