Hi,

I spotted this butterfly yesterday on the coast path in south Devon, is it a Common Blue?

There is also a photo of a moth I found recently, apologies about the poor photo, it would not stop fluttering its wings before it flew off, I'm going for a Grey Chi, but I'm not confident.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

The moth is a Grey Arches but I don't know the butterfly I'm afraid.

Butterfly may be a very worn Common Blue
