Hi All,
I came across two moths yesterday in different locations whilst looking for Brown Hairstreaks. and not being a moth man wondered what they might be. Any ideas welcome.

The second one is a Silver Y, and I'd hazard a guess the first one is too. It's a summer visitor to our shores, much like Clouded Yellows and Painted Ladies.

Many thanks indeed for your Moth ID help, always good to know what you've actually seen.

Help with dentification please.
My cousin sent me these two photos taken in her moth trap, one a very attractive Rosy Footman (Miltochrista miniata), the other is for Identification. 

Top one Rosy footman (Miltochrista miniata ), bottom one the Snout (Hypena proboscidalis )

Hello Alan, thanks for the previous ID, two more I need assistance with, I think one is a Orange Swift.

White Satin and Common Footman.

Yes to Orange Swift

Hello Medard ,
Agree with White satin and Orange Swift ,but the other moth(for me ) is a Carpet moth ,not 100% sure but possibly a worn Common Carpet or possibly
Red Green Carpet,or something similar.
Regards Allan.W.

Hi
Don't know where the "Footman" came from.
I meant Common Carpet

Maurice

Thank You both, can I tempt you with a few more ?

I haven't got my French moth book to hand, but think the first one is Least Carpet and the second might be Rhodostropha vibicaria.

Agree with Least Carpet for the first two. Think last may be Tawny Wave?

Agree with Aeshna 5 ,top 2 Least Carpet (second one very worn !) ,and Tawny wave the last ,the third moth ,is very
like in shape and habit to Straw and Yellow Belle ,so may be in the same family and possibly a species not found in the UK.
The one with the yellow flower ,looks a bit greenish to me ,could it be a worn Forester species...............just a thought .

I think the orange one is Crocota tinctaria - the blushing dyer, or la fidonie lutée en français.

Guy

Thank you one and all,

A  few more for you to test your skills on, the first, I found on a French website ( Idaea ochratalooks ) very much like the Moth pictured A rather large Moth wingspan 22mm plus , perfectly camouflage against a larch tree. I hope I haven't duplicated any with the previous photos, look forward to your comments

2 Pine Hawkmoth
3/5 Shaded Broad-bar

No 4 . The Streamer . Allan.W.

The last one looks like Great Brocade (eurois occulta ) not common in the UK ..................... was it in the UK.

Thank you for the identification of the Moths ,I must say I am very pleased to have found the Pine hawk-moth (Sphinx pinastri) perfect camouflage.
Yes all were pictured in France Allan.Moths are starting to interest me more but finding  locations may prove a problem in my corner of the UK.
Can you please confirm I have the Moths named in the right order as seen on the Post.No 1 Idaea ochratalooks ?
No 2 Pine hawk-moth (Sphinx pinastri)
No 3 Shaded Broad-bar Scotopteryx chenopodiataNo 4  The Streamer (Anticlea derivata)No 5 Shaded Broad-bar Scotopteryx chenopodiataNo 6 Great Brocade (Eurois occulta)

It is Idaea ochrata - I don’t know where rhe ‘looks’ came from...
