Hi Pete, tried to respond a few days ago but it wouldn't let me. Anyhoo,
1)NZLBA Moth,
2)Diamond-backed Moth,
3)Presumably one of the dark forms of 'November Moth' (Epirrita) group.
PS recently had a Death's Head sat on one of my traps, highlight of my 15 years daily trapping!
Cheers Paul

cheers Paul,
What does NZLBA mean?
Congratulations on the death head. Really want to catch a hawkmoth here.

Hi Pete, the dreaded 'New Zealand Light Brown Apple Moth'! Sorry, just being lazy!
Cheers

Thanks Paul,I presume that is some kind of invasive moth by the sounds of it.
I wish spring would come so I could start catching more moths again!
