Re: Any help with a Gloucestershire ID please
Hi Nigel,
The moth is Common Heath (Ematurga atomaria) http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=3641
The second is probably a leaf hopper of some kind, but I don't know. Beetle may be Red-headed Cardinal beetle: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life ... q=node/224

hi nigel,
the frog hopper is cercopis vulnerata and the beetle looks like what dave suggested and is one of the cardinal beetles pyrochroa serraticornis.
gary.
