| | red larva, micromoth and greenbottle help! Hi all,
grateful for any help with these three please:
Micro moth in grassland, small specks of blue in it, maybe something like hedya nubiferana? 
Then, close by a strange red larva, maybe pupating as not moving, again on grass, no idea.................!  
lastly a greenbottle - can you tell from the facial shots what it is, lucilia caesar perhaps,or maybe not clear enough?  
Cheers
Ken

| | | Re: red larva, micromoth and greenbottle help! Evening Ken,
Can't help with the first, but the caterpillar I think is a Sawfly larva. The Greenbottle I doubt could be taken to species-level from a photo unfortunately. Still a Lucilia, I suspect!
Take care, Jason |

The moth is Celypha lacunana.
