Have a few moths I'm struggling with from the last couple of nights. Any ideas?
1 - this guy is pretty worn, I'm not sure if those antennae are supposed to be red\brown or not, the wings were veined orange I presume from being worn, but something that's difficult to see in this photo is the wing had a dark crescent still visible
2 - I'm fairly sure this is a Rosy Minor, was the right size for one
3 - this one just has me stumped, I've looked through the geometrids several times now, I presume the thin central bar is supposed to be thicker and complete along the bottom, my closest guess is an odd Common Marbled Carpet, but the shape of that isn't right at all. I'm sure someone will ID it right away as something obvious though!
Thanks,
Nige
