My vote goes to the Ruby Tiger, cracking Moff :-)

Stewart,

Haven't seen either for a while but I think your Spinach is Dark rather than Northern?

As for the ermines - if any moth group deserved being lumped! Neither looks spotty enough for Bird-cherry but can't see the white/grey balance and size to suggest what they are.

Me too Warren.

Mark thanks for that, I dont know how I missed it!

As for the Ermines, the 'BC' is larger in my pic than the 'Apple' as the small one was clean white I plumped for Apple rather than Orchard... ?They were deffo two species.....

Had a look through images now - pretty sure the right hand one is Willow Ermine. Left hand one probably not Orchard, and probably is Apple, but can't tell if the cilia are clean white (for Spindle).

Nice one again Mark, only third Willow Ermine for VC68. The spotting is different to BCE. I was too busy concentrating on the little one!

Amblyptilia acanthadactyla is a strange looking beast indeed!

I'm with Warren on the Ruby Tiger!
