Svensson's Copper Underwing and a few cool micros - Aug 12th

A productive night in the traps last night with a good number of Macros which included:-
Svensson's Copper Underwing - first for the garden
Ruby Tiger
Small Dusty Wave
Pheonix
14 Large Yellow Underwings
2 Lesser Broad bordered Underwing
1 Broad bordered Underwing
Brimstone
2 Swallowtail
Grey Dagger
Least Yelolow Underwing
3 Common Rustic
Dark Arches
Dusky Brocade

I attempted a few micros as well with the following i.d.'d
many Light Brown Apple Moth
Lozotaeniodes formosana
Ypsolopha dentella
2 Garden Rose Tortix
Agriphila geniculea

 My first Svensson's Copper Underwing in Penrhyn Bay
 Ruby Tiger
 Shuttle Shaped Dart
 Small Dusty Wave? Confirmation or correction appreciated
 Dusky Brocade
 Lozotaeniodes formosana - quite a good one for around here I think.
 Ypsolopha dentella
Agriphila geniculea 
 Garden Rose Tortix
Tortix sp? I'm catching lots of Light Brown Apple Moths but this seemed different and a lot plainer. i.d. would be appreciated.

    I caught Lozotaeniodes formosana in July Marc, it was 6th VC49 record now followed by the 7th! Looks good for small dusty wave, I had one on my garage door yesterday! Not sure about last one, could be another lbam.

    I was thinking yours was a CU rather than SCU. Seems to have a defined lower bar. See my pic on old lady thread last week.
