The moth is a scarce form of latticed heath chiasmia clathrata clathrata form absoletissima,not seen it before ,but latticed Heath has a stronghold at CB,,,nice record...if you have any other details I will forward it to YNU.

Hi Graham a Good selction of Images your Hover is the Sun Fly or Heliophilus pendulus and the Scorpion Fly Panorpa spp a Female with Males only identifiable to species - it is likely P.communis but I have found a lot of P.gemanica recently, The Lacewing Chrysopa perla. I think the Cranefly id Tipula varipennis there is some type shots on the Flikr stream
