Thanks very much looked into #2 looks to me to be a Narrow-bordered Five-Spot Burnet Moth and agree with garden tiger
 
1. Is Ruby Tiger
2. I would be cautious over the id. Unless there is another photo you have, this could be Six-spot Burnet,

These wee beasties are usually only Id'd from a side on, and top down photo combination where you can see what is going on around the 'shoulders' or the first segments after the head.

Cheers jim
