I'd agree that the first one is a Brimstone Moth, but I don't know about the micro. As micro IDs can be tricky, a bit more information would be helpful, when was it seen, what area was it seen in, what sort of habitat was it in, etc.

Welcome to WAB by the way.

Regards, Audrey.

THe micro is a Nemophora, one of the Longhorn moths.

I agree - probably Nemophora degeerella but can't be certain

Thank you so much guys,
The micro moth was found in a wetland in London if that would help.
I did think it was a brimstone moth however my Manager disagreed with me due to the wing shape.
