This is a list of all the moths I encountered while volunteering for the RSPB up in Scotland. I put out a moth trap most nights when the weather was favourable and sorted through the moths before starting work at 9am. Luckily I had the help of two other volunteers, Rory and Sarah, who made everything so much faster and identified the moths I couldn't!
