Moths!
Excuse the bad photos - I hope to do better next time!
We've had these two moths in the kitchen this week but I don't know what they are. ID help would be gratefully recieved (Dean, Andy?!). I have looked through my butterflies & moths book but I don't think either are in it.
Moths are very alien to me - but I'm going to give them a go and run a primitive moth trap tomorrow night (Friday) - we're going to hang a white sheet on the washing line and shine a bright lamp at it (or behind it - not sure which!). Obviously not as good as a proper moth trap (I've seen how much those cost!!), but I'll be interested to see what happens - and if we actually manage to attract anything!
Maybe I could start a garden moth list!

Hi Birdwoman, its Dean here.
The top one is a Bee Moth & the bottom one is Light Arches.
There`s nothing wrong with the method of seeing moths that you`re going to try, quite a few people use this one. You never know your luck, hope you get something decent. Enjoy your step into the mothing world.
