  1. The easy first one is shears (you can see the shears on each wing) and the second appears to be a male brown rustic, feeds on dock.

  6. re: brown hawker hunt, the only things I'm getting at the moment are blues, occasional brown china mark moths and a single distant chaser sp. I can see I'm going to have to try harder. No work on so I'll have plenty of time.
