    Photography

    Moths were attracted to a Skinner light-box with 2x 20V actinic bulbs overnight and released the following morning, unharmed. Locations included Essex, Dorset and Argyll & Bute. All individual photographs were taken between April-October 2022 using a Sony RX10 IV camera (20.1 megapixel sensor) with the following range of settings: ISO<1000, F2.4-4 aperture and 1/100-1/2000 shutter speed. Photos were subsequently cropped and collated in Photoshop. Note that in most cases, the legs and antennae of the moths have been digitally erased to aid collation.
