Hi Susie

Just one thing that you might consider is the air fare. Some tour companies include this in their price whilst others don't.

We booked our air fare back in October 2018 and it has risen in price by over £50 and will no doubt rise even higher the longer you leave it.

Hi Susie I have been on four organised butterfly holidays with www.wildechotours.com in Bulgaria. All were fantastic and I have booked another this year.

Hi Pauline

The last image looks like a Bee moth, a micro although it is large for a micro.

Not sure about the other micros, not my area of expertise, sorry. Too many look a likes.

Nice images.

Maurice

Hi Pauline

I would go with Dark Tussock.

The last one is a Scalloped Hook-tip

Hi Pauline

Your last image of the micro is a Rhyacionia pinicolana.

Last night until 11.30pm I had 38 species at the moth lamp. Mostly what you are getting but I am still awaiting a Dot moth.

Hi Peter

Your Knapweed Fritillary looks like a Heath Fritillary!

Hi Julienne

Not a butterfly, I'm afraid, but a Latticed Heath moth.

Hi Janet

Your moth is an Angle Shades.

Hi Trevor

The moth is a Common Swift. Common around these parts.

Hi Goldie

It looks like a slightly worn Shaded Broad-bar.

Maurice

Hi Goldie, Mike

I think that your first orchid is a Common Spotted Orchid.

Thanks

Maurice

Hi Pauline

I would go with Dingy Footman for the moth.

Hi Pauline

I agree with Neil in so much that it isn't R. formosana. Having had a closer look at the micro I think that it is R. pinicolana, but I'm not an expert on these micros.

Maurice

Hi Pauline

Your moths, Yellow-tail and Lesser Swallow Prominent. Similar to Swallow Prominent (not a Pebble Prominent).

Maurice

Hi Pauline

Try Pretty Chalk Carpet and Common Carpet.

Hi Pauline

First moth is a Garden Tiger.
The other two are Poplar Grey, I think, and a Dun-bar.

HI Pauline

The Puss moth is a beauty. I had one, and my only one, ten years ago. I'll let you know when the next one arrives.

Cheers

Maurice

Hi Pauline

The penultimate moth is a Shuttle-shaped Dart and the last one is a Pale Tussock.

I had my trap out last night and had my best total so far this year. Just send the Puss moth my way, please.

Cheers

Maurice

Hi Jack

Try Bird's-foot Ornithopus perpusillus

Hi Trevor

I've sent you a PM.
