Steve,
Looks like you’ve cracked dragonflies – now about those day moths? Any description?
I didn’t know anything about moths until a month or two ago when I started taking an interest. Here’s my beginners opinion:
Often in ungrazed meadows you get moths from the subfamily Crambinae (Grass Moths) which dive out of the way and I find fairly difficult to id, though they curl up their wings and have a snout.
I saw a Yellowshell up their the other day, a yellow Geometridae (a large family of moths with contour lines across their wings).

The moths were mainly small off whitish
