UK moth ids please

Post by Charles Nicol »

Here are two moths from the Huntingdon area which i saw this week:

the large grey one looked like a Red Admiral butterfly when it was fluttering around.

Do you know what they are ?

The grey one is probably a red underwing.

The first looks like one of the prominents - possibly Pebble Prominent:
