You have some beautiful moths there. There are only two that I know for sure:
12. is a Cyana sp. However, there are a large number of very similar species so I can only get to Genus level.
22 is a Saturnid, a Cricula sp, probably Cricula jordani

Did you specifically try to attract the moths, or did they just turn up naturally?

[Great Mormon]

Les,

Thanks for the ID. We did not try to attract the moths initially, they just show up, attracted to the light. On the last night, we put up a white sheet infront of a light so as to view the moths better.

Do you know why moths get attracted to light, esp white light? And they just lay around, oblivious to the surrounding, some of them were nearly stepped on as a result!

wow .. so many moths. There are all very beautiful.
