I pretty sure the dragonfly is a Green Darner. Can't seem to identify the moth. Anybody identify for me?

So I found out it's not a moth but a Red Admiral butterfly.

I decided these needed a closer crop so I have reposted them and added another photo.

Thanks. I figured with insects people like to see the detail and the closer crops work much better.

Well done. The lighting on the dragonflies is very nice.
