The first two are burnet moths of some sort - I have tried looking on this link to identify them:

The second picture looks like Zygaena fausta.
The third picture looks like a species of forester moth.

Thanks for the info. I thought the same as you i.e two burnets and a forrester. Having followed up links from your info I think the first is a 5 spot burnet and the second, as you kindly pointed out, is Zygaena-fausta. Still looking for an id on the forrester.Matsukaze wrote:The first two are burnet moths of some sort - I have tried looking on this link to identify them:

Thanks IAC - cistus forrester it is. I should have had a look at UK moths - never knew we got them in the UK - a new species for me. Thanks for the kind words on the images too.IAC wrote:Cistus Forester (Adscita geryon) UK MOTHS..These photos are incredible!!!
And by the way I only took about 2 minutes of my time to research this answer so ...who knows.. just an idea.
