| |  4 insects at high level ID
These were part of my trot out on the pennines today at around 1500ft - grateful for Id please! 
2 moths, a beetle and a tachinid fly I think - maybe grossa, but not seen them from the front before! 
Cheers
Ken

Hi Ken, #2: Mid-day Fly, Mesembrina meridiana #3: A gorgeous click beetle, family Elateridae
Wow... sounds like a nice walk! |

The first moth I think is quite a worn Flame Carpet, Xanthorhoe designata.
The beetle is the Elaterid, Ctenicera cuprea.
The second moth is a Common Heath, Ematurga atomaria. |

Jenny - I had the first moth as a treble bar - what do you think?
Cheers

Ken | I don't think it's a Treble-bar. The cross lines aren't in the right place and aren't the right shape. The bars are the correct shape and position for Flame Carpet, although I accept that it's worn a bit.
I'm not saying you are wrong though! I know there are many who know more than me. Actually thinking about it judging by some of my ID's recently, I probably am wrong!  | | |
