MOTHS & BUTTERFLIES

For some time now we have been trapping moths, and thought we would like to share some images of the more interesting species.
Most trapping is done in our garden but when we go away in our campervan the trap comes too.
I've included a few butterflies as well. Please feel free to e-mail if you disagree with any of my identifications,
as I still consider myself a beginner in moth terms, and would be grateful for any help.
