Moths again

These are 2 moths caught in my moth trap (amongst many others) last night.

Top is a Flame Shoulder (Ochropleura plecta) which is common in Britain and flies from April to September. It comes to light and has (apparently) been known to enter the ears of moth recorders standing near the light, although this has never happened to me (yet). It also feeds at sugar and in flowers. It is a smallish "macro moth" with a forewing length of up to 15mm

The bottom moth is Catoptria falsella, a "micro moth" and is 10-12mm from shoulder to wing-tip. It is a member of Crambidae (grass moths). The moth is common in England, but is local in Scotland although its range is expanding. It flies from June to September and likes gardens, woodland and coastil locations. The larvae feed on mosses, living in a silk tube deep in the moss. Like the majority of micro moths, it is known only by its Latin name and has no common equivalent.

I did not catch any prettier moths this time but did identify 49 individuals of 16 different species - not a particularly brilliant catch considering the recent weather.
