The Common White Wave (Cabera pusaria) is a moth from the family Geometridae and is commonly distributed throughout Britain. Often confused with the Common Wave (Cabera exanthemata), but is generally whiter with more parallel cross-lines on the forewing.

The Buff Ermine (Spilarctia luteum) is a moth from the family Erebidae. The forewings are a yellowish-buff to whitish-buff colour. The number and size of the black dots on the wings vary but a distinctive diagonal row of elongated spots running from the forewing tip to trailing edge can distinguish it from the White Ermine.
