Tricky to find due to its habit of growing beneath larger plants, yet unmistakeable when spotted, the Lesser Twayblade (Listera cordata) orchid has tiny star shaped flowers, with two heart shaped basal leaves from which it gets its name (twayblade - two blades). Scanned from a slide taken by CE Palmar.

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. Photo taken by David Palmar at Insh Marshes.
