Lancashire moors
Two species of Cottongrass (which is actually a sedge), Common Cottongrass and Hares tail Cottongrass. Both are common in moorland areas. Notice that Hares tail terminates in a single piece of cotton, whereas Common terminates in more than one.
I found this Drinker moth caterpillar on the moors.
