A way to see more moths is to hang a white sheet on the clothesline in the garden, a rope hung between 2 posts/trees etc on a calm, ideally still night. Shine bright light - white/uv end of spectrum (i.e. not 'warm') on the sheet from a distance in front that illuminates the sheet. I currently use several compact fluorescent lights. You can use bright LED light array. A couple of nights ago I did this and got over 100 species of moths plus beetles, flies, bugs, ants, wasps etc It is not always this good, it depends on the night. You need a flash to take the photos and a small pen torch to light moths for focusing in darker areas or on the back of the sheet. It takes a while to get the hang of all of this, so don't get downhearted if early attempts are not great
