Peter I looked at it and thought the same as you but the flight time in the UK is much later (June) But it could be an early one!

The photos are not great but I will do my best here.

1. The first one on the low left is a Clouded-bordered Brindle Apamea crenate

2. Scalloped Hazel Odontopera bidentata

3. Could be The Engrailled Ectropis bistortata flight time is about right other similar species fly a bit later. Its badly worn so can say for sure and picture is not that clear.

4. I think this is the Treble Lines Charanyca trigrammica

5. I think Sweet Gale moth Acronicta cinerea

Sorry I should have put up a picture.

This insect recently emerged from a pupae of B. asluga. It is over 3cm long not including the antenna which are 1.5cm long. I have not been able to ID the insect down to species level but would be grateful if someone had experience of this species before. I believe the larvae were raised in the UK; I have not been told otherwise. Quite a challenging insect to photograph as it was extremely active all of the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Robert T
