Large yellow underwing
Found almost everywhere, the large yellow underwing is a night-flying moth that is often attracted to lights. It is brown with orangey-yellow hindwings.
Reddish buff
A very rare species, this moth is now limited to one site in the UK. Males can be a striking reddish buff in colour.
The drinker
This large, fluffy-looking moth is on the wing in July and August, but you might spot a caterpillar at almost any time of year.
