Hi,

Here are a few bits from the weekend I'm not fully confident of ID, or have no idea. Any help would be appreciated. I'm going for -

1 - Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary.
2 & 3 - Silver-studded Blue.
4 - A worn Puss Moth?
5 - Not a clue...

Cheers,

Tom

For me, 4 is a Drinker and 5 a Common Heath.

All the best

3 I'd go for Silver-studded Blue.

Thanks guys. That’s my first Drinker moth, it’s quite a relief as I have seen loads of the caterpillars over the past few weeks. I surprisingly managed to ID them & screw up on the moth!

Cheers,

Tom

Exactly the same here in Russia and I still haven't seen the adult.
