Number 2 is again Chloroclysta citrata/truncata. The two Tortricids I leave to others.

The first looks like it may be Rose Tortrix (Archips rosana) but I'd probably need a second opinion, last I am not sure, reminds me that I have a few photos of those that I needed ID'd and anyone who can ID the last one would clear that up for me too.

Can anyone ID this butterfly that looks like a Red Admiral please? It looks like an incredible aberration to me! Photo taken this week at Gwithian in West Cornwall by a student at Duchy College. I hope my attempt of bringing the image onto this site has worked & not just a load of coded letters comes up?!!
Cheers.......Lee Slaughter Please see attachment file for photo of weird looking Red Admiral!

Only just spotted these, Your first Moth looks like a Celypha rivulana, which is not a common Moth and the third is the very common Celypha lacunana. Steve

This is a New Zealand Red Admiral (
Vanessa gonerilla) see;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_red_admiral you could get these on
www.wwb.co.uk (world wide butterflies) and I suppose a breeder may have got some and released it. They also feed on nettles like the native Red Admirals.

Thank you very much Dave. New Zealand Red Admiral! Obviously a release. I will relay that name/positive I/D to those concerned. I'm very grateful for your help again.
