Categorising Lepidoptera

I’ve simplified my Imaging Storm “Mothematics” photo galleries. We now have – Butterflies, Hawk-moths, Macro Moths, and Micro Moths instead of dividing the macros between geometers, owlets, erebidae, notodontidae, lasiocampidae, drepanidae, and everything else.
Ruby Tiger, a member of the Erebidae family of moths
Peppered Moth – one of the geometers
Puss Moth, member of the Notodontidae
Copper Underwing, the owlet (noctuid) moth that got me started on mothing in July 2019
You can take a look at my detailed mothing records for 2019 here.
