Stainland. Catch up from 7th, 8th and 9th July.

 8 moths in total.  There are 2 new to me, both quite striking. Also, one I would like somebody to confirm, or correct my ID please.

Late arrival this afternoon 9th July (below)

7th July.

1 x Brown House Moth (Best photo I've ever manged with this one)

1 x Currant Pug (Badly worn, about 50% of it's scales have gone)

1 x Eudonia lacustrata (First this year for me)

1 x Garden Grass Veneer TBC (Poor photo with digital noise)

1 x Marbled Beauty. (The first of many this year, I hope)
