You know JL, I sometimes why we attract these moths and then let them go, most of them seem to be pests of some sort!!!
Not all of 'em, Duncan! :-) Besides, some of the peskies are really nice looking moths.
I'm relishing the learning experience at the moment.
Hopefully, this time next year I won't be asking so many questions as to who's who!
