A couple of Identifications Please

[FFO]

First a moth, I've had one identification as a Cabbage Looper but looking at images on the web it dosen't look right





And the second is a ladybird, which I think might be Cream-spot ladybird (Calvia 14-guttata)
but someone else thinks 16 Spot Orange ladybird perhaps.




Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark, and welcome to WAB!

I'm no expert, it has to be said, but I would agree with you on the ladybird – Calvia 14-guttata – but I'm afraid I have no idea about your moth. I'm sure someone will be along soon who will point you in the right direction!

I'd say the ladybird is Cream-spot, judging by the arrangement of the spots.

I'd hazard a guess at Angle Shades (Phlogophera meticulosa) with the crests behind the head but I prepare to be corrected by somebody who knows better!

Do you have a photo of the forewings at all? Angle Shades has a very distinctive appearance.

my guess would be maybe Dark arches.

It's not in focus but here it is

dark arches,almost certain,too fluffy for angle shades!

[Feathers]

Definitely agree it's not Angle Shades now we've seen the full photo. My book's not great but Dark Arches Apamea monoglypha looks much more likely. Good call!
