Moths (Lepidoptera) (24 Galleries)

I would like to thank Diane Lepage for helping with identification of many of these moth species. A superb website is Tom Murray's moth gallery: https://pbase.com/tmurray74/moths

The numbers refer to the Classification system developed by Hodges in his Check List of the Lepidoptera of America North of Mexico (1983). There are some major changes going on, and the numbering system is not considered to be useful by everyone, but I'll use it here for now until something better replaces it.

Any unidentified moths are at the end of the gallery. If anyone can help with ID it would be greatly appreciated.

Wonderful gallery of moths. Very nicely presented. Many people photograph them but don't realize how difficult it is to correctly identify them. You have done excellent work. Good luck with your endeavor.
