Moths

I have taken quite a few Moths over the last few weeks but never have the time to post them.
Here is a selection, some of which were taken at work and some caught in the Moth trap.
There are a few lifers such as the Buff Tip and Barred Straw.
Hope they are all named correctly but please let me know if any are wrong. John

    Such a great variety John. Just beautiful.
    A shame that most of these are missed by us. Stunning creatures of the night.

    Great moths, and I love the Twenty Plumed Moth, it stands out from all the rest. Mind, I also like them very much.

    Very interesting creatures. Good eye: through your story I can, now, perceive the beauty of those humble butterflies. Thanks, and best regards.
