Yet more moths 
Sadly, expired on bedroom window ledge 
- not me, the moth!
Attempted ID - closest I could get was micro - plume moth - Capperia britanniodactyla - /-)
I live in hope

1497 Amblyptilia acanthadactyla
Until about a decade ago this species was more or less restricted in Cheshire to The Wirral/Chester area; since when it quickly spread across the Cheshire Plain and is now frequently found in gardens throughout the county.

This larva was brought in by someone who found it in a punnet of imported Spanish raspberries, bought from Waitrose. It appears to feed on the raspberries.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This has also been sent in by a keen Count Me Inner! We know it's a plume moth, but can anyone help with identifying the species?
Thanks.

Another caterpillar for identification. I am sticking my neck out and assuming it's a moth, as it doesn't look like any of the butterflies I know. Any help would be much appreciated.

Oak Eggar (Lasciocampa quercus) would be my guess.....

Another one. This time a photograph of an adult was emailed to us. My money is on lime hawk moth.

Tom,
Spot on mate - definitely a Lime Hawk-moth (Mimas tiliae).
