Hi Peter

Can't tell what the top one is. It doesn't appear to have fully inflated it's wings.

Bottom one is Buff ermine.

Cheers

I really enjoy seeing the unusual insects lined up for identification. I also marvel at how folk on the forum can identify them too. How I would dine out on having those identification skills and knowledge. :) The moths presented are unusual looking characters.

Agree top one is Angle Shades. The lines on the thorax are diagnostic.
