A magnificent collection of moths which we in the city, hardly ever see. Great work in documenting these lovely flying things. V

Hi FWG. A very nice set of images. There's a few species amongst them that I recognize. Thanks for including the Latin names, without them I'd think it was the same as here, but wouldn't be totally sure.

Great job Christine! I especially like your series on the Ctenucha Moth. It is very useful to see the life stages of a particular insect. especially when many insects spend more time in their caterpillar or larval stage than they do in their adult form. Also nice to see the different patterns that a particular species can take such as the two images of the Confused Haploa. Thanks for continuing to educate us and showing us what is living in our own 'back yard '.
