I think these are more interesting subjects than great photos - I think there are few amazing photos of moths and probably none of mine are.

"
One distinctive feature of this species is that it always has a black band across the front of the thorax, when viewed head-on.
It is a common species throughout most of Britain, and flies from May to July, when it is readily attracted to light.
Various wild and garden plants make up the foodplants of the larvae."

"A fairly common but variable species in much of Britain, there are a number of very dark forms, some of which do not show any obvious green coloration.
Its preferred habitats are woodland, parks and gardens, and bushy open places, and it flies in June and July.
The caterpillars feed on the blossoms of apple (Malus) and pear (Pyrus), as well as other fruit trees."

"Wingspan 35-40 mm.
Distributed mainly in the south and south-east of England, where it is common in places, it has a scattered distribution elsewhere, being rather local.
Flying in June and July, and frequenting sand dunes and wasteground, it is a frequent visitor to light.
The caterpillars feed on the leaves and roots of low-growing plants including knotgrass (Polygonium) and clover (Trifolium)."
