HK Moths

This is a gallery to help people with identification - it is certainly not a collection of aesthetically pleasing images. Corrections to IDs are very welcome. Many moths have kindly been identified for me by Roger Kendrick. All the mistakes, as they say, are my own. All these moths have been photographed at or near my home in the Sai Kung area of Hong Kong

Amazing collection of photos. Thank you! I don't suppose you could help me identify an individual from a photo my mum took down on the subway?

Hi Andrew. Loved your collection and your beautiful clear shots, I've also been shooting moths in the light trap that is the stairwell of my home on the edges of the jungle near Shing Mun Reservoir, How do you get your moths identified？ Is there an easy way? Would be grateful for a reply via email (see attached address) John O :)

Yes!! Please!! It is really a tremendous treasure you have here with all this great pictures AND IDed moths!! I would like to encourage you to make some "folders" with the different families and I am sure you will be soon famous for your library!! Did we convince you?? Cheers!!

Jan, thanks for the comment / suggestion. It is a retirement project to order these. WIP.

very nice collection, is there any way to see specific families or even genera? It is a bit counter productive to have to sift through so many pics, if you already IDed your critter to family...

Andrew beautiful collection which shows good amount of hardwork. Adding family and subfamily names will be very useful. Thanks for sharing

You have done a great job to collecting all those moths, think about the creater who has created You and me and and the havens and earth and the sun ,moon and all those moths , He has created everything for a purposse yet we dont no, he is Allah The all maghty,there is no one beside him,

Wonderful photo collection. But, as a suggestion, it might be more useful as an ID tool if you rearranged your thumbnails into (at least) family groups, as much as possible. Geometridae, Crambidae, etc.

Great collection, so many beautiful moths. thank for sharing.
Guest 21-Jun-2008 12:05
These are fantastic.... Love what you're doing and the photos you're using.

Thank you Richard. They are frequently written off as little brown night-flying brown jobs but actually moths are often beautiful.
