| | | Damsel IDs
Hi Visited RHS Harlow Carr today and photographed these can I have an ID please? 
Tornado  
Also saw a small butterfly about 25mm tip to tip, very dark brown in colour with white forewing tips, can't ID it in any of my books and couldn't get a good shot of it unfortunately, has anyone any ideas?
Thanks Tornado

Not sure about the damselflies, but I wonder if your 'butterfly' could be a Chimney Sweeper moth? |

Tiggrx you were spot on with the Chimney Sweeper Moth, they were so pretty but really hard to take a shot of!! Thanks again

Any blue butterflies at the time - could be female chalkhill blue? BTW got laminated fold out butterfly and dragonfly id sheets from Bempton Cliffs, published by www.field-studies-council.org | | |
