No butterfly but a variety of insects.

Post by Rebecca »

This afternoon I was going through my photos stored on my pc when I discovered 2 files of photos that I didn't realise I had (badly organised). These photos were taken last summer. I came across a dragonfly, a spider and 2 moths that I am unable to identify with my British nature book and wondered if any of you lovely knowledgeable people would be able to help me out?

I doubt the first moth is possible, but the second could be Epirrhoe alternata or Spargania luctuata.
