The July Highflyer (Hydriomena furcata) on the left is a moth of the family Geometridae. A very variable species, both in markings as well as colour, with some showing a distinct green colour, others reddish-brown. The Lesser Swallow Prominant (Pheosia gnoma) on the right is a moth of the family Notodontidae. This species is very similar to Swallow Prominent (Pheosia tremula) but it is brown and white with a white triangular wedge near the corner of the hind wing.
