Moths for ID pleas
Three moths for ID please.
These 2 were both found in woodland yesterday.
1. 
2. 
No2. reminded me of a Nettle Tap, but the colour is wrong.
3.  
No 3, was found in my garden last week - I thought it was a micro moth but some one else said it was awhite fly - but that doesn't look like any I have seen which tend to be more rounded - a heart so of shape? I still think it looks like a moth?

Hi Shirley!
No. 1: ?
No. 2: V. similar to the Nettle Tap... that was my first thought too, but agree on colour.
No. 3: To me it's a moth, but no idea which species!

The first is a (slightly faded) Silver-ground Carpet - Xanthorhoe montanata, no idea on the micros though I'm afraid!

Mine is very faded and I would never have matched the name to the moth so thank you Guy -its always nice to have a name for something.

I hope are right and it is a moth, but I need a ID to register it on the moth count I am doing for my garden species.
I imagine No 2. is a close relative of a nettle tap -but I haven't fathomed it out yet  .

Phew! No 2. is a Ptycholoma lecheana one of the Tortricinae.
Not a Choreutidae as I suspected  .
Just Image 3 now to ID - come on chaps and chapesses  !

I'll let you know if I work it out... though I suspect I'll be beaten to it!

Apologies for tacking on to another thread but I've also found a moth!
Anyone able to point me in the right direction perhaps?
This is an unusual visitor to our conservatory - we get plenty of bees and flies but seldom more than three lepidopterans a year. This one really, really doesn't want to go back out into the rain!
