These two were found separately: one appeared on the pots I was bringing in from the moth trap, but I don't think it had come out of the moth trap itself, and the other was found on the underside of an Apple leaf.

This one appeared in my pheremone lure trap. There was no lure set (or lure cage present, so unlikely to be any residual pheremone scent), so I'm not sure if it was attracted to the coloured lid or if it just ended up in there by accident.
