Moths

I found these moths this evening, I dont know what they are, except for the tiny Wasp moth sharing a flower with a bee. If you know please tell me! Thanks to Martin who investigated and found out that the bluish one is a Common Grass-blue butterfly, I am so pleased Martin, how wonderful to have friends to help! Inspired by Martin I have discovered that the large moth is definitely a Hawk Moth, but I have not found an exact match yet.

  9. We have small blue butterflies that look like your “medium sized” one in the northern states of the USA. It’s similar to the endangered “Karner Blue.” It doesn’t have the tiny “eye spots” or “tails” as yours has though:

  10. I guess the link I included in the last comment was lost. It’s probably not allowed so I’ll put it in this one with some modifications which might allow it to come through:

    Hi Christine – Nice shots :-) I think Your first one is a Common Grass Blue Butterfly. Sorry, I didn’t investigate the large moth in the second shot.
