A few photographs of other moths taken over the years. Return to home page
They were mostly taken for identification purposes, many in poor light, which explains the poor quality of many of them.
Identifying moths seems to be much harder than butterflies, not only because there are about 10 times as many moths, but also the variability.
The identifications are my best guesses but I am sure at least some of them are wrong. Please feel free to contact me through the contact box with any corrections, especially the last three..
