A new moth and a birds wing....

With the better weather (until today when its been misty rain on and off all day) I have managed a couple of trapping sessions recently....though I have to say so far im not over impressed with the Summer weather so far.....

This micro moth is blessed with both a latin name and a common name....as you know most micro moths usually only get a latin name....

Gold Triangle, Hypsopygia costalis

At rest this next moth is supposed to resemble a pair of birds wings....hence the name....any questions about that.....dont ask me...I dont get it.......

Birds Wing, Dypterygia scabriuscula

Possibly named after the intricate weaving of the black and white lines....possibly....

True Lovers Knot, Lycophotia porphyrea
