Hopefully I am posting photos of two rather beautiful moths that I have come across this year. Anyone know what they are?
-
Still have not mastered multiple photo posting! Next moth should appear below :(
-
The first one is a Jersey tiger moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria). It has a much wider distribution than just Jersey.
The second one is a clouded yellow butterfly (Colias crocea). It is common across across most of Europe (summer visitor in the north), N. Africa and across the Middle East as far as central Asia. There are a few similar species.

For more photos and comments on Jersey tiger moths, Umbrian, see under subject heading "Some butterflies from Hymettus, Mount Dirfis and elsewhere".

Carole, thanks for those lovely moth and butterfly pics!
Next time you want to put more than one photo in a message, try this: once you've chosen the first one and its file name shows at the bottom of your message, click on the blue (more attachments) words just to the right of the photo file name, then click on the Choose file button again, then browse through your photos to select the one you want, just as you did with the first photo, and add it to your message - and so on, clicking the (more attachments) words again if you want yet another.
