More recent moths

Continuing on from last week we have another two new season moths.
the first is  Aeolochroma hypochromaria

                                                                                                                 












Family:- GEOMETRIDAE
Sub Family:- GEOMETRINAE
Genus:- Aeolochroma
Species:- hypochromaria (possibly)


Below, another Aeolochroma from 2011,  possibly Aeolochroma metarhodata
This was another moth that wanted to rest with its wings folded back like a butterfly



















Family:- GEOMETRIDAE
Sub Family:- GEOMETRINAE
Genus:- Aeolochroma
Species:-  metarhodata ( possibly)


and from 2013 another Aeolochroma but I am not sure of the species.







The moth below is a new one this week. I have not seen it previously and, so far, I have not managed to identify it. It is from a different family to the ones above. I have included it to just for interest. Hopefully I will be able to identify it.
