Hello Frank. Sorry that I did not reply sooner, but I have had some problems with my internet connection. I use a few different cameras but most of these were shot on either a Canon G11 or a Canon D10. I also like using a Nikon 8800 or 4500 deending on the insect. All of these have very good macro capability, as do most point and shoots these days. Yes, there is plenty of moth diversuty here in the Annapolis Valley. I just started turning on my moth light last night and got quite a few different species.

Wonderful images. What kind of camera setup do you use? I used to do a lot of microphotography at work, but of course moths are a bit larger. I had no idea of the diversity of the moths around here (I live just outside Middleton). Frank Thomas

very hard to id 7291 and 7292 you need to measure better tocheck genitalia undulata size 24-31mm prunivorata 27-35 mm your photos are super good but at light it plays trick with the colours

Thanks, Gerard, I visited your gallery to view that moth. I think it is a Sphinx Kalmiae (Laurel Sphinx). There is some information and more photos of one on this web page: http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/skalmiae.htm
