    In this video I show off a technique using a black light over night to collect moths. This technique works best in the mountains or woods where many moths species dwell. This one I put out near Palisades reservoir on the border between Wyoming and Idaho in the United States. I left this light out multiple nights and found some awesome moth species that I wanted to share with you.

    I don't know how you can resist catching and pinning most of these little guys. I love the beautiful colors and patterns so much, but I have yet to learn how to collect and preserve them indefinitely apart from pictures. I guess that's why I'm here!

    Wine ropes can also attract moths. I made a wine rope before and I saw a big moth in it

    amazing variety! i love the little white feet on the ones with the little "eyes" :) you probably get this question a lot, but which camera do you use? it looks awesome for low-light macro photography!

    That’s cool, I feel like the moth might be a spirit animal of mine. There’s something mysterious and magical about them. I love the fuzzy legs ❤ I hope to hatch some ❤

    I finally got around to posting this comment ... mainly to say thanks for the honour of being the first photo on your 'Wall of Fame'. Green Tiger Beetles are pretty exotic looking creatures in my part of the world and it was my first day looking for them so you can imagine how excited I was ... beginners luck I guess!
