All of these photos of moths were taken in the garden except two. To have a look at them just click Garden Moths. Better than putting in a lot of pictures. _________________ Have a look at MY NATURE SITE

There is such a variety of lovely moths in all different shapes and sizes. Some of them are easily mistaken for butterflies because of their striking colours. I have had white plume moths visiting my garden. Up until three years ago I'd never seen one before. It still amazes me how most moths are camouflaged so well against the bark of trees or the leaves of plants. _________________

It is amazing how they can disapear right in front of you. I walk around the garden and when one takes off I try to track it. Some are so small that they can hide under the smallest leaf. Thanks for having a browse. _________________ Have a look at MY NATURE SITE

Great collection of butterflies.We use to see a huge brown moth at night around the lights.I never knew its name except my mom and dad called them Batchaboos.They reminded ne of a bat. _________________ 'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.'
