On warmer nights, we tend to find more moths (and flies, etc.) attracted to light. These two species are both new to me.
Firstly, Least Black Arches - Nola confusalis - a tiny moth no more than 1cm. long:
And Yellow-barred Brindle - Acasis viretata. The fresh green colour fades very quickly to yellow.
These species are both associated with broadleaf trees and hedgerows.

I discovered your site today, and am enjoying visiting very much.I stayed in Donegal(I'm from Australia) about thirty years ago, and still have fond memories of your town. I find small creatures and insects inspiring for my art works, and love that you have taken the time and patience to photograph these fascinating little subjects.Thanks!
