The second moth is Achaea lienardi, one of the more variable moths around.

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).

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

Thank you, Murtu

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.

Welcome John and thanks for your input.

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

Welcome and thanks, John!

The ones that made those wrong identifications will be rounded up and dispatched with.
