These were all seen at the Totternhoe quarry nature reserve in South Beds this afternoon (a very chalky habitat).

That was a quick reply! Thanks very much, aeshna5.

I should have recognised the Burnet Companion as I've had one ID'd on here for me before (and I've seen photos of them on here recently too).

The Treble Bar is a new one for me, and I really like it. It stayed so still and was so well camouflaged on the end of a twig, that even though I saw exactly where it landed I started to doubt I was actually looking at a moth until it flew off.
