Four (?) Footmen of Llangeitho

 Trapping on 10th July, a mild dry night yielded over 150 moths, with 48 macros and numerous micros, largely Eudonia spp..

One Footman I am unsure about: Obsidentify says Orange Footman, 100%, but the flight season is late and the wing looks less angular. The Four-spotted is the second I have recorded here in Llangeitho.

Buff Footman

Dingy Footman

Orange (or Buff?) Footman

Four-spotted Footman

Cloaked Carpet

Of the micros, I think these are:

Calamotropha paludella

Beautiful China-mark

Apple Ermine: Yponomeuta malinellus
