Mansell Gamage 22nd May 2015

My best trapping here so far, despite temperature dropping to just 2.5C.
24 species including Chocolate Tip, Buff Tip and Puss Moth.

Puss Moth


I have three that I'm not sure about...can anyone help?

The first, is it Red Twin-spot or Dark-barred Twin-spot? (Or neither!)


Then two more I can't identify...



Thanks in advance for any help.

    That's a Red Twin-spot Penny, the next looks like a Pale Mottled Willow. Not sure about the Pug, did you keep it? Is it Mansel or Mansell?

      Thank you. Looking back at the history of the name I think it should be Mansell, as the road signs/maps have it. But the post office has Mansel, so whatever!

    that's probably Grey Pug; long protruding abdomen, obvious central spot, rather vague barring and wings held 'up' slightly from horizontal
