Lee Mount - 17th November

 Four moths so far today but still hoping for some tonight.

Red-green Carpet x 1
Light-brown Apple-moth x 1
Winter Moth x 1

Blastobasis lacticolella (c 9 mm) - this had me puzzled for a while as the ones I get here are usually much paler and B adustella is usually much darker.
The textbooks and then the photos on Norfolk Moths seem to suggest B lacticolella. A consistent feature appear to be the pair of spots next to each other at around two-thirds.
