Looking at another site, the top one looks like a hop merchant. |

Pretty sure the second one is and it is feeding on Bramble. Lovely to see. Were they found on/near moorland? |

They were both almost next to each other, close to a lake at Whisby Nature Park. There is a large area close by where we're not allowed to go, not quite moorland, but a size-able untouched area. |

The second looks very much like a juvenile emporer iv found them quite a way away from moor & heathland, even in areas like forest borders, and hedgerows although there are plenty on the North Yorkshire moors if anyone is up here, the adults look amazing. | | |
