arks,

The first one is a Cream-striped Owl Moth (Cyligramma latona) Family Noctuidae

The second one I don't know without further research, but I strongly suspect it, too, is a member of the Family Noctuidae (the largest and most successful family of moths in the world).

[Murtu]

Correct. http://www.africanmoths.com/pages/EREBI ... enardi.htm

It is a great site and i enjoy it very much. There are however a few identification mistakes on the Odonate section that i would like to point out.

1) Photographs 3,4 and 5 (mating pair) are Masai Sprites and not Acacia Sprites
2)The female Kersten's Sprite is a young male Slate sprite. (photograph 7)
3) Photograph 8 is a Swarthy Sprite male and not a Cherry-eye
4) Photograph 9 (Light brown individual) is a Acacia Sprite female
5) Photograph 10 shows reddish postocular spots and is a Masai Sprite female.
6) Photograph 11 is again a female Acacia Sprite
7) The last 2 photographs of the Green Hooktail is in fact a Corkscrew Hooktail.

Im my website Dragonflies-id.co.za the differences and key id features are described.

We now need pictures for Marsh Bluetail, Kersten's Sprite and Green Hooktail. Do you have any photos you could post here?
