Thanks Mike…. If you click on the image it should enlarge… I do have a better photo of it now though I think which I might post if I get time today.

Congrats on getting your trap and doing pretty well on your first nights trapping and ID. I agree with your other respondent (is it someone local?) on the lunar underwing and silver Y. Not sure about the feathered ranunculus though. It may well right but its not easy to be sure from a pic that size. Can it be enlarged?
If you get anything uncommon or difficult to ID you could always give me a ring and I’ll call and have a look since I pass most days.

Hi Al
I also am fairly new, but very keen. Like your blog site.
The last photo is a Feathered Ranunculus. Good luck with your trapping.

On your moths: yes to your first three, then you have a Lunar Underwing and indeed a Silver Y
