Photos taken in Reading, UK, on 2010-09-04.

It looks like Epicampocera succinata or Pales pavida. Anyone know any better?

Not Pales (I don't see facial ridge bristles and the tibiae don't look pale) and it doesn't look the right shape/colour for Epicampocera ... but it might be a Phryxe ... would be better to have a specimen though because something doesn't look right ;)

Alas, no specimen for this one. Thanks anyway.

I´m lost. Any chance for Nemorilla? I´ve never seen so early Phryxe!

Yeah, me neither ... but it just doesn't look like Nemorilla to me - dusting is too grey/blue ... it just needed catching ;)
