The following moths were attracted to the outside lights at L Torment, E
Dalhousie, Kings Co. this past week. I am having no luck identifying them.
General Guides only cover the big charismatic moths and/or pest spp.

1. I only saw one of these greenish white moths during the week. Not one I
have seen before: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9115356232/

2. A single specimen of this brown moth was also the only one seen all
week. Looks a lot like a dead leaf:

3. Sorry for the dark photo here. Also only one of these moths seen all
week. Odd dark spot on its head:

4. A bizarre moth. It looks like it may be a member of the Tussock Moth
family (Lymantriidae). Many of these plastered to the sides of the camp.
Unlike the other moths, these ones fall to ground when nudged rather than
flying off. The second pic is overexposed but there to show shape- it is
the same moth however: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9113141987/

That's all, Nancy
