Thumbs up for grouping the pictures  Also try to add a number to each moth so it doesn't get confusing later on. So moth #1, I took a few minutes and stumbled upon the genus Nycteola and upon this picture of Nycteola mesoplaga www.flickr.com/photos/botalex/4190785895/ which looks quite promissing. Your moth doesn't match it 100% but maybe there is a little bit of variation in the black spot in the middle of the wing ? Another problem I saw is that your moth seems to have a strongly elongated apex whereas the apex of Nycteola is not pronounced that strongly, nevertheless you can now have a closer look into that genus. Keep the pictures coming, I can't await to see those hundreds of moth ;D |

I have checked a few pics of moth and I have seen no Scopula with bushy antennae, so I guess that Scopula is the wrong genus. Unfortunately I have no better idea what it is as Geometridae is the family I know the least about.
I can't check the other links, I have no facebook account and no access from the outside to it. Furthermore I have no interest to register on a page where people send you "friends requests" that are either too stupid or too shy to ever talk you in real life. ( I knew a lot of people from sight in my school for years, they never talked to me but as soon as facebook came out you had a "friends request" )

You have no idea how many ''friends request'' I've been getting from people I've seen many times, but never said anything! Anyway, the main reason why I made a FaceBook account was to make friends and I've found a few fellow insect-lovers this way. |
