Hello again Medard ,
I,ll give them a go ,but I,m happy to be corrected !
Pic 1 .
Transparent Burnet (zygaena purpuralis ) Maybe extinct in the UK ,or down to one site...…… not sure.
pic2+3 .Common Heath .
the last one looks like White Plume , the other two shots look like Burnet species ,but not sure which,but the one without the cream markings could also be transparent Burnet,the other with cream markings is a beauty ! and I have seen pics of similar ,but I,m afraid I don,t know what it is.
But I guarantee someone on here will !
Regards Allan.W.

Re: Moth I D please.
Had a look on the computer ,I reckon the Burnet with the cream rings could be zygaena carniolica.
Crepuscular or eastern Burnet (happy to be corrected !)
