| | | Two Moths For ID Please :)
Hey Everyone,
Apologies first off for the shoddy camera work! It's cold/had to use a torch to provide the light as my camcorder doesn't have a very good one.
These were spotted in my urban garden earlier this evening .... any help on ID would be most appreciated  Video: YouTube - Moths
Cheers, Rob |

The first one I have absolutely no idea bout as I cant really make out any clear features. The second one was easier to ID and is a twenty plume moth-Alucita hexadactyla |

The first one looks like a male Bee Moth and the second is a Twenty Plume Moth.
Cheers,

Many Thanks for the answers so far
No. 2 is definately a Twenty-plume moth so that one is positively ID.
No.1 - Can anybody confirm with Adam that this appears to be a Bee Moth .... or something else?
Cheers again! |

I'm not at all sure, but I'd suggest Least Black Arches as a possible alternative for number 1.
