Apologies in advance for the poor pictures 
Lots of the first one today on heathland 
Not sure that this is a moth, but think it might be? 
Thank you. |

Hi T,
#1: ?, ?
#2: Caddisfly, Trichoptera? The eyes are wrong for a moth, though at first I thought it could be one... |

The first is a male Common Heath - Ematurga atomaria, they're just starting to appear now but they can be abundant on some heaths and moors at the right time of year,
