Carnic Alps Moths

Not a moth'er at all but would appreciate help with IDs on these three seen in the Carnic Alps recently. The last was found at 2300 m.

Many thanks.

Adam

Not guaranteeing there aren't closely related species in that area but no.1 looks like Common Heath Ematurga atomaria and no.2 Speckled Yellow Pseudopanthera macularia. I don't recognise no.3.

Its a start anyway.

Hi Brian et al.

I have been told that the third moth is Papestra biren.

In the event that someone might find it of interest, I have attached a photo of the bizarre Lycia alpina, also from this month's Carnic trip.
