Shuttle-shaped Dart

Double-striped Pug? (confirmed)
Small Argent and Sable? (Common Carpet)

These hot evenings seem to be stirring up the the local insects- quite a few moths recently and a lot of small beetles too in the obs. It's also stirring the local people up- five police cars outside at the moment following a little street riot.
The West's End aside, there's been a good range of moths which I have attempted at identifying (apologises for being an absolute beginner). As usual corrections more than welcome.
There were 3 Wood Sands on the farm today ,see here http://surreybirding.blogspot.com/
and I can hear them calling now (10pm).

Hi Peter, from the top: Tree-lichen Beauty; Shuttle-shaped Dart; Dingy Footman (I think); Double-striped Pug; Common Carpet; Shuttle-shaped Dart again.
Cheers Steve,
Interesting that we all had Tree-lichen Beauty last night. Mine is still on the lamp shade.
Glad I got some of them right.
The Moth named as 'Red Necked Footman??' is the Pyralid Lesser Wax Moth. Just browsed your Blog (accidentally) whilst listening to the football. Phil (Ramsgate)
