" Interestingly, the male’s eyes are divided by a groove and have separate connections to the brain. This allows the males to use the upper eye part to look out for females and the lower part to monitor their position in relation to the ground, allowing them to hover in the same position."
@bette I don't know much more than you (maybe about British moths) and have just done the same as you ie found things and looked them up in books. These were just on the wall outside the back door. There are some real amazing experts around, for instance Duncan the man I'm going bird ringing with tomorrow and Roy Leverton who is on Yahoo Scottish moths. I'm not in their league , just interested in what's around like yourself. Seems that you are in a good place with your climate and environment to in time far exceed my knowledge. Insects exist in Scotland grudgingly I feel.
