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?

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!

There are too many shots of moths to be processed, just a few shots to start with. Hope Roger can help us to id some of these moths.
1. This moth flies like a butterfly
2 - 5 : all sort of moths of different sizes and shapes with nice and complex wing patterns were attracted to the light sources outside where we stayed on hill top.
