Records from my flat moths and other insects

Over the last couple of nights, I have had some visitors to my moth trap .... not actually a moth trap but the result of keeping my kitchen window open and a light on!

With the help of the Seek app on my phone and a much more knowledgeable person than me from Noak Bridge Nature Reserve, I have a few tentative IDs. In order of the photos below, they are ....

Common Green Lacewing

Ermine Moth species .... there are apparently 4 very similar looking Ermine Moths and it requires evidence of breeding and observing the larval foodplant to confirm to species level! .... and there was me thinking that a white moth with black spots would be easy!

Rosy Tabby

Coronet

Fortunately, a visitor to our rear garden fence proved to be less challenging to identify! ....
