Pugs. What else? I'm not completely useless on these honest - it's just they get worn so quickly and easily. Please can someone help me add a name to these two recent finds.
Thanks again,
Andy

Hi Andy
Again tricky to ID. As you say "So easily and quickly worn". But my quess due to the few clues on show would
be, top image with evidence of checkered veins and feint thoracic spot,Golden-rod Pug, bottom image stronger
markings, small but noticeable discal spot and small tornal spot, Grey Pug.

Greg

Hi Greg
I agree with Grey Pug for the second but not convinced the first is Golden-rod Pug. Have a look at the Common Pug photos in Hancock, as that species also has a certain amount of chequering on the veins. The first specimen in Hancock also shows a white area on the thorax in a slightly broad diamond shape, which matches Andy's specimen and the general rufous tinge to the wings is also a good pointer for Common Pug.

...based on the junk conditioned pugs we normally get here in Elton, I'd say both those were in pretty good nick

Thanks to all. I did toy with common for the top specimen, but the other lost me. Still, it all helps with recording when people assist like this and I can now update my records for the nights in question. Thanks again.
