Another newcomer who can't tell a butterfly from a moth with a couple of problem butterflies?

Glad I took a peek at this thread because that moth has been driving me to distraction of late. Every time I walk through a meadow, I keep seeing what I think is a Skipper only for it to settle and prove to be one of these moths.Pete Eeles wrote:Hi John - and welcome!
The first is a Speckled Wood. The second a Burnet Companion (moth).
