Can't ID the moth, but you have some nice pictures there. I particularly like the dull butterfly.

LOvely shots RM- particularly like the fly (assume it's a tachinid? )

It is a Tachinid - like all the best flies!

Very nice shots. The butterfly shot is my favorite. Can't help with the ID though :)

Can't help with the IDs but they are all lovely shots.
