December Mothing - 1

Weather has been a bit temperamental during December, with a lot of wind and cold nights. No point putting the sheet out in those conditions! Here are a few caught during a couple of warm, still nights.

A Plume Moth, Stangeia xerodes
PTEROPHORIDAE



Possibly Thrincophora signigerana
TORTRICIDAE : Tortricinae

This one was taken inside. Apologies for lack of quality of image but that's what happens when short people stand on stools trying to photograph moths on the ceiling!! :-)

Unfortunately, the moth expired before I could catch it to take outside.

Pyralid of some kind, maybe?

Here's an unidentified Noctuid.

If anyone knows what these two are, please let me know.
