Another ID please

If you have seen a Butterfly or Moth you can't put a name to then post a photo of it here and we'll try and identify it for you.

I had this down as an Autumnal Rustic until I trapped one that I identified correctly.
So this is either a Double Square Spot or a Triple Spotted Clay I think.
Would you clarify for me please and thanks.

It looks like a Garden Dart. When was it trapped as it is getting a bit late for them now.

This one was trapped on 3rd of August, when I trapped an Autumnal Rustic and went to log it in my file I realised this one was wrong.
Hope that helps to identify it.

Many thanks

Good, yes happy with the ID. Had it been yesterday then that would have been more awkward!

Always worth stating date and location :-)
