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 |
 |
| Beautiful China-mark |
 |
| Apple Ermine: Yponomeuta malinellus |
The leading edge of the Orange Footman wing is straight from the base for two thirds - so this is not an Orange Footman. The Ermine might also be an Orchard or Spindle.
