What a brilliant thread, I used to collect when I was a kid but can't remember the names of them these days which is frustrating. Hopefully this thread will bring it all back great pics by the way

Lovely photography.
I think its a shame we see so few moths these days.
When I was a kid in the '60's I remember on summer evenings we'd always get huge moths in the house through the open windows.
Barely get any now
Pesticide use I suppose ?

OllyHughes . Is he dead, under a microscope?

I'm loving all these photos but would run a mile if they came at me. Humans are strange beings arn't we.
