I have been doing some further research and come to some conclusions.
I now think that Skipper 1 is a particularly bright Fiery Skipper
I think that Skipper 2 may be a Delaware Skipper - Anatrytone logan.
I believe that the moth is probably a Yponomeuta Moth,
Any comments?

So I would be very grateful for any help with identification of these puzzlers. A skipper which I think is not a Fiery Skipper, ...

Winged Insect and a caterpillar
I would be grateful for any help with ID of the attached. The caterpillar appeared in my moth trap which seems odd. I believe that it may be a lime hawkmoth. Any other suggestions? I am completely stumped by the winged insect which flew into our living room - first thought was a bee until we looked ...

Help with ID please - possibly a moth
I would be grateful for any help identifying this small butterfly or moth which I photographed in West Oxfordshire last Friday. I thought it was a clearwing moth, but could not find a match in my reference books.

More butterflies seen in Costa Rica
Can you help with these butterflies which I have not been able to identify? Seen in Costa Rica in woods near west coast between Punta Arena and Colorado. I think that the first two are some kind of blue. The photos are of two different butterflies, which may (or may not) be the same species. The thi...

Re: Butterfly in Costa Rica
Thank you both. It was so pale I could not convince myself it was a White Peacock. I have photos of others where the marking are much more convincing.
