I quite liked the bent antenna on the one at the back, so I thought I'd share.

No, wait a minute, maybe the Pearl Veneer moth Agriphila straminella as seen here http://www.norfolkmoths.org.uk/micros.p ... z&show=com. I think that is better.

What are those jaws on the front for?

No need for sorry, you gave me just enough to go on (I think). I am plumping for Garden Grass-veneer Chrysoteuchia culmella as seen on the following website http://www.ukbirds.net/micromoths.shtml.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure this is not a butterfly! But my interrogations of various insect id websites have not delivered, largely due to my complete ignorance of what I am looking for and how to describe it.

Ah, that was my second choice. Thanks.

Sorry about the quality of the image
Didn't get a look at the underside. Lively little buggers ain't they.

A couple of early attempts at butterfly photos. Any comments gratefully received.
By the way, what settings do people use to load photos on to this site? Mine look a bit small on preview.

Stuart

Just wanted to say what a fine site this is. It has been most helpful in allowing me to identify butterflies in my garden, all very common of course. And has what seems a nice bunch of people.

Thanks for the hard work in keeping the site going.
