5 Butterflies and a Moth to ID please

[Paulcrook]

A few more that I would clarification for please. After my last attempt at identifying skippers I'm not sure I want to try these but is one of these shots of an Essex Skipper. Also, I think there is an Adonis Blue shot here (it's not a Chalkhill, having seen it fly away and too many 'stripes' for a Common I feel) and is there a Brown Argus here this time? No idea on the Moth though.

Thanks again

Paul

The moth is a Straw Dot Rivula sericealis http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=231

Hi Paul,

In order of appearance:

Common Blue (female).
Difficult, though I'd go for Essex (male).
Difficult again, but either Essex or Small (female).
Clouded Buff (Diacrisia sannio).
Brown Argus (male).
Adonis or Chalkhill (female).

It's not always easy from a photo.

Kind regards. Mark

I agree with Mark and the final shot appears to have a bit of a blue tinge to the visible area on the upper wing surface although difficult to see. Could be a female Adonis with blue on the upper wings.
