    I am pretty sure that this one is the Silver Y moth,one of our european summer visitors.

    I haven't a clue what the name of this unusual looking moth is.

    Your right with the first one Pip, the second is a White Plume moth - Pterphorus Pentadactyla also known as a T moth for obvious reasons. [​IMG]
